    How did they express their displeasure? Did you have a chance to talk with them? Radio chatter?

    Radio chatter. Another train crew IDed their front and rear. They were talking to them.

    Can't blame them for being unhappy. Broiled train crew. Not a great recipe!

    I took this with my new iPhone. I was just starting my shift at work in Petaluma when this southbound NWP train showed up.

    We sure aren't hearing much about the NWP. How is that project coming along these days? Business on line?

    Out of service? Oops? Something went sour?

    Sorry to know it is out for the season, but at least it is not due to any accident of mechanical failure.

    From the looks of the few trains I've seen, there's lumber going to someplace on the line...and feed to or from a mill. I know there used to be lumber mills up north of here in Healdsburg. There's a couple of feed mills in Petaluma that I know of as well.
    Nick, if I remember correctly, there's a few patched units up in the South San Francisco yard that I see at night when I'm down there.

    Is there a site on line with more current NWP info? There is one blog page know about, but it has not seen an update since summer of 2009.
