Clankity Clank: Getting Used to Trains Again

For those living along Railroad Avenue and other spots near tracks in Novato, this clip is nothing special at all. But many who live further away haven't seen or heard the freight cars yet. Here's your chance.

Thanks to JeffCon1, we have a quick clip to show the Northwest Pacific Railway freight cars clanging along the rails in downtown Novato. This video was uploaded on Jan. 5 and shows the train cruising at about 25 mph past the old train depot at Grant & Railroad avenues. After a long hiatus, trains have been running since July 2011.
