Special train to operate to Sonoma Nascar race
“rare mileage that only occaisionally sees passenger trains,”
I first fired on that division’, The Western in 1960. My seniority lived there 42 years and I’d testify to eight trains (Well they were turns, out and, necessarily, back).
This is not counting deadhead equipment moves for the Cal Northern at Fort Bragg, a museum worthy collection at NWP’s Willets or Napa Valley Wine Train train’s equipment.
The trains In reverse order:
the last 2 Nascar Sonoma Specials
Bill Gates private and business car train for about 10 cars of his closest folks (to Napa I think…
And The Board Chairman’s 4 business0-car special to and from a bird, (doves, quail, ducks, pheasants), hunt with his BFFs.
Rare Mileage… you betcha! Particularly from Napa Jct to the NWP at Schellviille and then to the race track near Sears Point.
Enjoy! Enjoy!
