| When the Northwestern Pacific Railroad went out of service, and subsequently the Southern Pacific Railroad, industry and tourism suffered greatly in Northern California. Long talked of plans to revive a commuter rail service with freight and passenger excursion service were for naught. Enter the Redwood Empire Daylight, a division of Ferroequinology Industries. With miles of track, lots of leased equipment from the Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroads and of course the Daylight trains themselves; the Redwood Empire Daylight has brought new life to Northern California. Dubbed the "Worlds most beautiful train," the Daylight Specials used to run up and down the California coastline. Left to rot on sidings from Arcata to Asti, they became targets for vandals and the ravages of weather. Now, beautifully restored and back in commuter and passenger excursion service they bring joy to young and old alike. Similarly, our freight division has proven beneficial to the wine, timber, cattle and high-tech industries of Northern California. | ||||||
