By the Way, the Railroad Has No Reflections

No. 22 -- VIRGINIA AND TRUCKEE RAILWAY -- Nevada Railroad Reconstruction Chronicles

THE RAILWAY HAS NO REFLECTIONS IN 2009

Last year the lobbyist group known as the Northern Nevada Railway Foundation ran an event called Railway Reflections. This year they won't.

Last year, as in years past, they were given an "annual payment" from the Commission for their fund-raising efforts. Never mind that net-net they have cost the Commission more than they have ever raised from private hands.

Last year in 2008 the Railway Reflections events we said to have a bright future. NNRF people claimed they could compete with Hot August Nights (HA!).

This year there is simply nothing going on. At least they will save the Commission from funding the fund-raisers.
