Giants of the Redwood Empire Arrive in Ukiah by Rail
The Northwestern Pacific Railroad ferried logs and freight to Ukiah as a new logging surge boosted carloads to about 2,000 in 1966 7 and daily shipments reached 10 to 15 carloads six days a week. NWP moved 7,880 cars near Ukiah that year with most outgoing cargo wood products and timber. Floods tested the line but repairs kept freights moving, aided by shaker plate cars at Masonite Ukiah and Boxcar plants. NWP traces roots to 1907 with a 330.5 mile line completed in 1914 and SP ownership solidified in 1929.
