<p>Click on the NWPRRHS button on the upper right of this page for info about the archives etc. We have had a researcher from Fortuna make the drive down for a day (several times) It's a long way, but likely worth it. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>And about the NWPRRHS- Do they have a physical place? I'm up near Eureka. I do have access to the NWP documents from the Eureka depot however. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>Thanks a ton, it was a LOT of work, done mostly in spare time, and over the course of a year. I think I might write a paper next on the North Coast Daylight exclusively. I want to publish a book someday. </p>

<p>Yes,.....after the 1964 flood the railroad was reconstructed in 177 days.....a virtual miracle.....however, the job was the equivalent to patching old tires,...instead of buying new ones. It was patchwork...at best...however, there were sections of line where the speed limit was back up to 30-35 mph along the Eel.

<p>Yes,.....after the 1964 flood the railroad was reconstructed in 177 days.....a virtual miracle.....however, the job was the equivalent to patching old tires,...instead of buying new ones. It was patchwork...at best...however, there were sections of line where the speed limit was back up to 30-35 mph along the Eel. I took a ride up to Eureka in 1983, and we had an 84 car train....and as I remember....it took about six hours from Willits yard to Eureka. At that time, the Eureka yard was in pretty poor shape, with industry moving out, and the lumber folks in trouble. It was sad to see the system crumbling and falling....yet business was still holding together. Espee had seen the handwriting on the wall and was giving up....and they did to Brian Whipple and the Eureka Southern....but .....no money......maintenance went patchwork, and the winter rains did their thing. Prior to the great flood of 1964 the NWP was a fairly healthy, active, operation,....and on solid ground,....but that was to come to an end. Who knows what the future may bring, but the past was very well documented in this historical work.</p>
