Document Description
NCRA has proposed this project to resume freight rail service from Willits, Mendocino County to Lombard, Napa County. The proposed project corridor extends approximately 142 miles from Willits in Mendocino County, California southward to Lombard in Napa County. The rail corridor, commonly known as the Northwestern Pacific Railroad (NWP), generally parallels US 101 running north-south in Mendocino, Sonoma and Marin Counties. In Novato, Marin County, the rail corridor turns east and runs parallel to California Highways 37 and 121 to Lombard, Napa County. Freight service will not extend south of the US 101 interchange with California Highway 37. Additionally, this project does not propose nor authorize freight service north of Willits.
