Western Railroad Discussion > NWP Schedule

Hello,

I am going to be in Novato this Friday and Saturday so I am curious if the NWP freight train will be running either day and if so what time would it be passing through Novato.

Thanks!

Tu & Th evening SCH to PET 19:00-02:00, W & F SCH-CFNR  start will be 12 hours after previous quit time, usually around 14;00. M is maintnence.

I lived in Santa Rosa in the '70s when there was still freight service on some former Petaluma and Santa Rosa trackage in the county. I believe that's only a memory now.

I'm curious as to what businesses are served by the current NWP freight service. I know that at one time Korbel had a warehouse in Graton that was served by rail. I'm wondering if any wineries ship by train now.

The Cal Northern has some winery business--take a lot of reefers or maybe its insulated boxcars not sure. Biagi Bros. is the company that does it. Out of American Canyon. 

I believe NWP has two feed mills in Petaluma and Lagunitas Brewing.
