Northwestern Pacific Railroad Historical Markers

The Northwestern Pacific Railroad (NWP) started in 1906 when the Southern Pacific Railroad (SP) and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) merged some of their smaller railroads. The NWP has covered an area from the San Francisco Bay in the south (where the railroad also used ferries to transfer freight), to the Humboldt County city of Trinidad in the north.
