I am writing to urge you to complete the rail banking process for the NCRA. The legal status of a couple of terminal lines should not delay the process for the rest of the line. This canyon should never be used for rail transportation again. The long term damage done to the Eel river fisheries is well documented and any attempt to reestablish rail service here will result in the extinction of the remaining fish. The great Redwood trail represents the highest and best use of this public right of way. Please proceed as quickly as possible with the rail banking so that the work on the trail may begin. Any attempt to run a coal train through here is a misguided idea that will be met with appropriate resistance. It will not happen!
