Description

"There's not much ticking other than the clock as Nevada Northern chief dispatcher Jack Whitehurst reflects on the company's fortunes at the East Ely DS office on Thursday, Sept 16, 1976. One train a week is the best the railroad can offer following the federally enforced shutdown of the McGill smelter due to environmental concerns-a loss of revenue that's especially hard to swallow in this recession-wracked Bicentennial summer."
