<p>I have an SP timetable effective for 1984 but it has hand written notes from the engineer dated much later. I suspect the NWPRR in the 90s may have just continued to use the SP timetable since they did everything on the cheap.</p>

<p>Thanks for the pointers on the video. The good news is, I already own two DVD's depicting the NWP and CFNR operations. I watch them every couple of months to keep my interest and motivation in my continued progress on my HO model railroad. I am working on painting, decaling and installing DCC decoders in some older Atheran Blue Box Kits of SD9's that I purchased on ebay.</p>

<p>I took a few months off from working on these units, but recently started working on them again. I am waiting on some detail parts and miniature bulbs (ditch lights) that I recently ordered from a hobby store on the internet. I am hopeful that I will be able to successfully install wokring ditch lights and a working roatating beacon using the various FX3 effects on the digitrax decoder I plan to use. I am also wating on a small speaker to arrive for the sound deoder.</p> Gus:

<p>Thanks for the reply. I would really like to get my hands on an actual time table for that time period, but it is just not in the cards for me a this time. I already have an Altamont Press California Region TImetable 11 from 2000. It covers the NWP and numerous other railroads in California. It lists the mile posts and stations, but unfortunately, it does not go into specific operating rules of the railroad. I figured the trains all ran as extras, but I just wanted some of…</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I would really like to get my hands on an actual time table for that time period, but it is just not in the cards for me a this time. I already have an Altamont Press California Region TImetable 11 from 2000. It covers the NWP and numerous other railroads in California. It lists the mile posts and stations, but unfortunately, it does not go into specific operating rules of the railroad. I figured the trains all ran as extras, but I just wanted some of the minor operational details. I attended Sonoma State University from 1993 to 1996. I have several great memories of chasing those GP9's and SD9's in their "Black Widow" paint schemes through Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park and Petaluma. I just wish that I had been better prepared and had a camera with me on these runs. I do have some pretty good shots of these units, but I could have taken so many more if I just had a camera with me. Besides, who knew at that time that the NWP would stop running these units in 1998 and not have trains run on the line for over a decade?</p>
<p>I even remember seeing some green and white CFNR units on the line prior to the Black Widows showing up in 1996. But of course, no photographs of these units.</p> Hi Trevor,

<p>Hi Trevor,</p>
<p>The NWPRRHS does not have an Employee Timetable for the dates you are looking for. My best advice would be to get an Altamont Press Railfan guide for that time period. It would list the stations and lots of general rules.</p>
<p>Most freight trains and the few excursion trains were most likely extras and not timetable listed. The railroad followed SP rules so an SP rule book for the time would give you the operating rules.</p>
