In 2006 a shop employee said just before he quit that there was a cancer growing on the NN.The NN hired Marty. After one year he was terminated at the July, 2007 board meeting pending the NN finding a replacement which left Marty hanging on for months with no contract. There was a guy named Milton who worked for the UP in Ogden. Every couple of weeks he would volunteer to do track work at Ely, he was a hard worker and knew a lot about track construction. I asked about him in 07 and was told he was run off the property. Nice way to treat a volunteer. Robby Peartree was roadmaster for the whole railroad. He replaced rail and ties by himself with no help, he quit. His replacement Roadmaster Brad, he quit. So Tom Carroll dont feel bad about quitting after 3 weeks, You where very wise........ Needless to say I do hope the Nevada Northern is around for another 100 years.
