The Northwestern Pacific Railroad (reporting mark NWP) is a regional shortline railroad utilizing a 62 mi (100 km) stretch of the 271 mile mainline between Schellville and Windsor with freight and Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) commuter trains. Formerly, it was a regional railroad primarily used for logging that served the entire North Coast of California, with a main line running 271 miles (436 km) from Schellville to Eureka, along with an additional portion of the line running from the Ignacio Wye to the edge of San Rafael. The "Southern End" of the line, including Schellville to Willits and from Ignacio to San Rafael is owned by SMART, while the "Northern End" was formally owned and managed by the now-dissolved North Coast Railroad Authority but is now saved for use in Californi

  • The Northwestern Pacific Railroad (reporting mark NWP) is a regional shortline railroad utilizing a 62 mi (100 km) stretch of the 271 mile mainline between Schellville and Windsor with freight and Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit (SMART) commuter trains. Formerly, it was a regional railroad primarily used for logging that served the entire North Coast of California, with a main line running 271 miles (436 km) from Schellville to Eureka, along with an additional portion of the line running from the Ignacio Wye to the edge of San Rafael. The "Southern End" of the line, including Schellville to Willits and from Ignacio to San Rafael is owned by SMART, while the "Northern End" was formally owned and managed by the now-dissolved North Coast Railroad Authority but is now saved for use in California's 2018 Great Redwood Trail Act, which repurposes the unused railroad right-of-way from Eureka to Willits for future use as the Great Redwood Trail.

  • Le Northwestern Pacific Railroad (sigle de l'AAR : NWP) était un chemin de fer régional américain de classe I qui desservait la côte nord de la Californie. Il reliait Sausalito sur la baie de San Francisco à Eureka, non loin du corridor de l'US Route 101. Le NWP exploitait une ligne électrifiée de chemin de fer de banlieue interurbain dans le Comté de Marin jusqu'en 1941. L'ouverture du Golden Gate Bridge en 1937 poussa les usagers à délaisser le train-ferry au profit des autocars et des voitures. Plus de 20 petites compagnies virent le jour pour réaliser la liaison San Francisco / Eureka. Mais à travers elles, deux grosses compagnies, l'Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway et le Southern Pacific Railroad entrèrent en concurrence pour finalement unir leurs forces. Le NWP fusionna dans le Southern Pacific Railroad en 1992, seulement 4 ans avant la fusion Union Pacific Railroad / Southern Pacific. Un service fret est programmé pour débuter en juillet 2010 au nord de la Californie entre Schellville et Windsor, avec une extension jusque vers Willitz en 2014. (fr)
  • De Northwestern Pacific Railroad (reporting mark: NWP) is een regionale spoorlijn langs de noordkust van de Amerikaanse staat Californië. De 436 kilometer lange lijn loopt van in Sonoma County naar Eureka in het uiterste noordwesten van de staat. Momenteel is slechts het deel tussen Schellville en Windsor – het zuidelijkste deel van de route – in gebruik door goederentreinen. De lijn wordt sinds 1996 uitgebaat door de North Coast Railroad Authority (NCRA). Er zijn plannen om de operaties stapsgewijs uit te breiden naar het noorden en om de sporen tussen Windsor en San Rafael (in Marin County) open te stellen voor de geplande forensentreinen van (SMART).
