The beets were going to the Holly Sugar beet processing plant in Orange County. If this idea had succeeded the sugar company would have built a plant in the Owens Valley.

I'm not sure about Mina. Before oil fuel there would have been a coal facility at Mina. Mina apparently did not have a ramp to transfer cars and locomotives going to Sparks -- I've seen photos of locomotives being handled by a tie-crib ramp at Mina.
