Just a few updates and one correction: The last train out of the tunnel to the Garfield smelter was in May 2001 as opposed to the mid 1990's. Since then the tracks have been unused and have been allowed to deteriorate for the last 21 years. The "low line" was scrapped and pulled up around 2016 give or take. The high line was intact until the realignment of 6200 south at U-11 severed the line several years back. As of last week 4/12/2022, both U-111 railroad bridges have been demolished for the widening of U-111. Several short stints remain and will likely be untouched unless commercial and residential construction and expansion necessitates its removal.

I watched his show.. fell in love with the '67 Mustang he was driving.... and commented. We began corresponding... eventually met in person. Found we have a lot in common..

I remember growing up near this mine and going to family outings at Copperton Park. I would go to the parking lot across from the park that had a downhill view of that switch yard. I’d watch all the working trains. This was in the late 80’s. Copperton is a special place. I love that they keep up the old miner housing homes/community.

This channel is a fantastic find! I grew up West Jordan and went to middle school at the Old Bingham High School in Copperton. The old Bingham High School is the only thing missing from the township. Taking that long bus ride to Bingham Canyon was a lot like catching the train the to Hogwarts. We passed Elk and Deer and settling ponds and the Old Cemetary on the way. The school itself looked much like East High, ornate brick pillars and a large copper relief of the mine scene as you came in the front doors. There was a bomb shelter in the basement along with Asbestos Warning signs and a creepy boiler room. A few classrooms had holes in the plaster walls. Someone started a fire in one during Home Econ. once. The tennis courts and field house were in ruins so we stepped around the broken glass and walked on a gravel path out to the dirt and asphalt track to run and play soccer. When everyone else was having anti-drug assemblies, we were watching Kennecott Conveyor Belt Safety films so that we would have the fear of being juiced in our heads if any of us decided to wander off campus. Almost the entire school skipped class to run around the city park the last two days of school. An officer would herd us around in circles from his cruiser. Good times. I miss that building. Now I live on the other side of the mine in Tooele. I stumbled onto your channel with the video you did of the train museum there. Love your series! Keep screwing around!!

Not all the track is contiguous. The track leaves Copperton and heads north, crossing U-111. But the Mountain View Corridor cut off the track (and indeed, the former rail grade is being used for a chunk of the Mountain View Trail). The rail is also split at 6200 South, and the northern bridge across U-111 was demolished a few years ago.

What a blast from the past! I worked there from 1980 until 2005, mostly in the pit. Electric locos ran in the pit until the shutdown in the 1980s very much as you describe. If you look on google earth now, the rails from Copperton to Magna disappear near Magna and the old Bonneville concentrator no longer exists. When I left, KUCC ran tank cars with sulfuric acid as you indicate and the refinery loaded boxcars with their end product which was refined copper plates sent to buyers across the country. Yes, the property has been fenced off but I remember the areas with little human activity as mostly a game preserve.

I have often wandered around Magna thinking about the rail link with the mine. You are answering those ?s for me. Yes, Copperton is a beautiful little town. Copper roofs, who would have thought. I was looking for a nice little diner to have breakfast at some morning. None to be found. Didn't want to knock on somebody's door and invite myself in for breakfast. The mine conveyor system has to be a whole story unto itself which starts at the gyratory crusher. That is a long conveyor system.

Yes!! At the smelter is a large yard on the UP main line, which was the old WP and Salt Lake and Los Angles. Finished copper is shipped from there but mostly millions of gallons of sulfuric acid. The scrubbers on the smelter remove sulfur dioxide as sulfuric. They are so good a capturing pollutants that the huge 1200 foot stack is not even used anymore.

I doubt Rio Tinto would let speeders on the line. They are just not interested in anything outside of mining. The TV show is Granite Flats. Used the Magna main street and much of Copperton as the town of Granite Flats. Great little show, hard to find though.

Hard fixing the slide. There was talk about giving up, closing down. It's so deep now that the sides are so steep!! There is a plan, may happen, to sink a shaft in the center of the pit and switch to hard rock mining under the pit!!! Time will tell. But the pit seems to be at the breaking point. It's over a mile wide, but to reduce the slope it would need to be more like 2 miles, and at that point it means removing the entire mountain range!! HOWEVER, they are also looking at that.

Have you watched the movie Desert Empire Rio Grande started the Rio Tinto mine in Copperton. Although they shut down the yard in Copperton the railroad still leaves from the smelter in Magna and and interchanges them to Savage and Garfield. Savage and Garfield text to cars to Midville yard where they are interchanged to Utah Rail and Utah Central. Utah rail takes the cars going out on the BNSF to Provo yard and also to the mill at Geneva where the copper is processed. The cars going out on the Union Pacific are taken to the Roper yard or to Ogden where they are used locally on the Utah Central and go to Freeport or in the case of the cars of acid taken to Pocatello where they are either deliver to the Simplot plant or taken to Soda Springs and delivered to local mines and chemical plants.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but its not entirely accurate to refer to electric engines as "locomotives." The word locomotive has self-propelled connotations to it and an electric engine is powerless without an outside power source--IE an overhead wire for electricity. A steam engine or a diesel engine can be considered true locomotives as they are self-propelled. But its not accurate to call them "electric locomotives."

No kidding!! about 22,000 people, now 1200. Less all the time, yet more copper coming out. Most of the jobs lost in America have not gone to other countries, but lost to modernization AND moving to other states.

Hi. Yes, been thinking about that. We had use of a drone when we were in LA filming the harbor. WOW!! A friend has 2 of them and we were using those. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKuafKVpq5Vkg7M Flew out to the ships and even in the docks. Usually a drone would not help us, but on this show it would have been great. So yes. Planning on getting one.

the rail line is now severed over U-111 they widened the highway a few years ago and removed the bridge. don't even think of rail speeders if Kennecot catches you, you will wish you were playing on the U.P. rail line instead... most of the rail is NOT serviceable and is buried.

AND all of it under trolley wire! In the mine they used movable towers wit trolley wire, in Copperton and on the line between the lower canyon and Copperton, they had catenary. The trolley wire was (as I recall so totally wrong) 600 volts, the main line 3000 volts. They would let go of the trolley wire and grab the 3000 volt wire and BANG!! Sparks, looked and sounded like fireworks. I loved that.

"I'm sitting here, late afternoon, watching my two favorite 'wild and crazy guys' and I fell asleep. Really." The chair is not that comfy and the subject matter was right up my alley. Just knocked off. So sorry. On the re-play you did have a nifty Harry and David commercial, though. Oh Nuts! LOL !. Carry on with further pursuit of, screwing around.. Until next week.
