| Post subject: | Two headlines from Nevada Northern |
Hi All From the joint management meeting two things were said while I attended a pupblic meeting that would make great news paper headlines. The first was the executive director saying the growth the railroad was seeing necetitated the management changesbeing discussed and the other was the chairman of the management board saying that the NN would be dead by July if things did not change. Different views from different people but where is the real story? Robby Peartree |

Yea, I say that seems to be a communication problem. |

Quote: The first was the executive director saying the growth the railroad was seeing necessitated the management changes being discussed and the other was the chairman of the management board saying that the NN would be dead by July if things did not change. Sounds like different perspectives of the same situation: is the proverbial passenger coach half empty or half full? |

Sounds like typical boardroom antics to me.. Seen anywhere more then one person has a differing viewpoint then the rest. |

I'm interested in what the problem is with growth from both perspectives. If the management change is we need more work done since we now serve 5 times the people we did with no staff added since, seems like a good case on the surface. Perhaps the "death" if things didn't change was supporting the first perspective ather than objecting? |

A long-running personality conflict between the two. Dies down for a while, flares up occasionally, then smoulders again until the next time. |

Brian, it's in the thread title, Nevada Northern in Ely. You'd be hard-pressed to write a soap opera with a more amusing script. We've had threads on the subject before. We didn't have April Fools this year but I was tempted to post that a 'historic interpretation' initiative was going to have a 'dinner theatre' train that interpreted recent railroad 'preservation' history -- featuring burglars sneaking into office windows, trucks parked across the tracks, and other 'tropes' from the recent crop of Riffinesque goings-on, perhaps with a rousing Perry Mason-style courtroom revelation where Snidely and the other county weasels get their comeuppance. The problem with the idea is that it spoils the appetite for the dinners... |

I have never heard of two trains operating in opposite directions on a single track railroad getting very far. |

Someone edited the subject line as I had used NN for the Nevada Northern. Robby Peartree |

While I thought the subject was about the Nevada Northern, it always helps to spell out the name the first time it appears in a thread.Is there any internet posting (newspaper or otherwise) about the meeting that you attended? |

Unfortunately no other report that I know of at this time. I had to leave the meeting before it ended. The Ely Times comes out on Friday. The conversation was mixed with great passion for the property. It was a good reminder that passion and emotions have helped create this division between people and it has lead to people on each side becoming blind to other passion for the property.

Perhaps it's time for the other stakeholders to get the two aside, tell them that the operation is growing and succeeding and to shut the hell up and get on with continuing the success without worrying about who gets the credit and leave the unnecessary drama aside. It's nice to have the luxury of being able to afford to engage in infighting but that doesn't mean you have to waste your resources doing it........ |

The Ely Times article on this is now out see http://www.elynews.com/2016/06/10/compr ... oundation/ Big issues include bylaws changes, whether people who don't live in Ely can be members of the museum and vote and who determine who serves on the board. Bob H |
