Looks like things are getting cleaned up finally! It would be amazing to see it get to Cloverdale eventually!

It's a lot safer that way and it's interesting to see a combination of old and new coming together!

Haha, I promise I’m not trying to create a horror movie atmosphere! Just trying to keep the energy up-I'll keep an eye on the volume!

I'm glad you think so too! It will be nice to see the project fully completed!

Yup! It is a pretty nice wye indeed!! Needs more use though!!

I have to cover ALL of the town as much as I can! LOL!

Thanks! Gotta be supportive of everyone!

That is the freight "bypass". S.M.A.R.T. is a High Level DMU operation and in order to get the freight cars past the platform with ease, they have to "shift" the freight out. It is called a gauntlet track, but consider it a mini-siding to get around the platform safely!

I used several "Love Train" and "Midnight Train" in the audio portion!

The last official freight prior to the re-build was sometime in 1997 prior to the El Nino we had that year!

Good shots. Will there be any chance for freight anywhere along the line?

@@douglasashleigh4989 unlikely. The tracks terminate north of downtown Willits, and it is unlikely that SMART will ever go that far (so they won't be refurbished). Even if they did, there is no business practically anywhere along the line. The old NWP served logging interests and then the Port of Humboldt Bay in Eureka. But when that was washed out, the railroad's purpose was really destroyed. And now California is turning the remnants north of Willits into a trail... so... so much for ever seeing the Port serviced by trains again.

Thank you and as @princessofthecape2078 said, probably not too far North. We could (0.00000001% chance) see freight from Cloverdale, Healdsburg and Windsor if SMART decided to re-install the proper spurs and get the traffic back. SMART now owns the "newer" NWP that was running, so they have full control of both the FREIGHT and PASSENGER interests on the line.

I don't think they fully terminate but nothing will ever run North of Willits anymore anyway! Just the sad state of affairs. Plus SMART is Sonoma-Marin so going into Mendocino County would require a lot of new ballot voting!

Welcome and thanks for the comment!! I hope you enjoy the channel!

@@franksrailsphotographyllc Sure thing.

I hope to do this on a more regular basis when the local American Legion post does this!

You bet! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for the reaction!

Thanks! The first part is taken over Furber Park/Furber Plaza areas, I also included footage from around the depot, from the Cloverdale Pool parking lot and from Foothills Park!

What drone are you using look awesome!

@@cjhersh DJI Mini 3 Pro.

It sure is!!

Yup, Mainline down the center, siding off to the right (looking North) along Asti Road and a pocket track to the left (looking North) along US-101.

Thanks!!

That is correct. The depot however has to be re-built completely due to ADA standards.

It was a fun shoot and the final products are going to rock!

Thank you!

Bruna did awesome with this!

Thank you!

Oh yeah, I love some punishing… who is gonna spank the naughty out of me? You, God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit? 😈

@@BrunaVianaMetal Holly Spirit is love. Love is on the cross you hanging upside down.

Indeed they're a great sight to behold! I'm glad I caught them when I did. Regards, -Frank C.
