GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Make room for notes, plans, or travel memories alongside the story of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad. The route grew from a 1906 agreement and reached Eureka in 1914 after challenging construction through the Eel River Canyon. Its history spans passenger trains, lumber traffic, changing operators, and freight service in Sonoma County. This spiral notebook is a fitting everyday choice for rail enthusiasts, local history readers, and collectors who appreciate the many chapters of Northern California railroading.
Northwestern Pacific Railroad history grew from competing plans by Southern Pacific and Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe to reach California’s Humboldt County lumber country. In 1906, the companies agreed to combine 42 railroad companies, creating a route from Sausalito to Eureka; the line was completed in October 1914 after construction through the Eel River Canyon was delayed by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The railroad became a full Southern Pacific subsidiary in 1929. Passenger service south of Willits ended in 1958, and the final Willits–Eureka passenger trip ran in 1971. Flooding in 1964 damaged 100 miles of track, while a 1978 tunnel fire closed the line north of Willits. Southern Pacific sold that northern section in 1984, and the Eureka Southern operated it until financial and storm damage problems led to its sale in 1992. The North Coast Railroad Authority acquired the line and later leased it to Northwestern Pacific Railroad Company, formed in 2006. Freight service resumed between Schellville and Windsor in 2011. In 2022, Sonoma–Marin Area Rail Transit took over freight operations, now called SMART Freight. The northern route remains out of service, with plans for a public trail.
