Northwestern Pacific (NWP) Railroad Area of Operation Links

Last edited 24Apr2005 Whole new update. The intent of this webpage is to bring together groups and websites either within or about NWP area railroads. I personally support getting the railroad running again. Railroads are the most fuel efficient method of transportation, thus reducing polltuion. Another thing is you don't need oil to make rubber tires for railroads, which is another source of pollution for the enviroment which most people don't consider. Although locomotives run on diesel, they can also run on Biodiesel. They also could be run on electricty, from overhead lines. These in turn can be supplied by photovoltaic(solar), wind, biomass, or microhydro. One railroad car can handle 2.5 truck loads. With creative thinking and money, this railroad can run again.

One problem is the soil is mainly clay, which is slipperly. OK, so why not make it in to pottery, roofing tiles, medicine, and bricks? There is trash, biomass, and cows that can be turned in to oil(existing process) and shipped out or used locally.
