Oh, yeah, there was a vote, here's how it went

No. 4 -- VIRGINIA AND TRUCKEE RAILWAY -- Nevada Railroad Reconstruction Chronicles

I guess I assumed you all read the Nevada Appeal article saying the Commission voted to sell the cars, AFTER BEATING A DEAD HORSE FOR 30 MINUTES.

John Tyson was trying to get a motion passed that the Commission would revisit the issue next month and see what it would cost to evaluate the condition of the birdcages, er, passenger cars stored at Portola.

In the middle of this Dwight Millard made a sensible motion to just go ahead and sell the cars. After John Tyson withdrew his motion, Dwight's motion passed. Ron Allen voted no, John Tyson voted yes and stated he was voting reluctantly but had no choice.

The other yes votes were Larry McPhereson, Dwight Millard, Bob Crowell and Bonnie Weber. So it was five to one. Here's a bad picture of them voting to sell the cars -- again!
