Wreck on the Copper King Mine railroad. Larry Sax father worked on the Bull gang they did heavy repairs on shovels and trains around the mine, so we have many pictures of wrecks at Bingham Canyon mine. Correction the last wreck was at D-Line bridge not G-Line as said. Pictures from the Larry Sax collection, utahrails.net.

I show you the four different sizes and colors at the Copper King Mine. Then we talk about the thousand at Bingham canyon mine, history, and pictures. February 1963 Kennecott started building their own ore cars. Some photos from the Larry Sax collection found at utahrails.net.

Sleepy town of Bingham on the Copper King Mine and railroad. The video I uploaded this week on my YouTube channel is on Copperton the last remaining town at the mouth of Bingham canyon, nothing to do with model railroading so I just share a link if you want to check it out; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHPgr-wWPwk&t=22s

Passenger Service is a must at the Copper King Mine, the railroad is the only way to get to work at the mine and mill. Bingham had passenger service for only a short time, we talk about that and show the few pictures we have of that time. Some of the photos from the Utah Historical Society.

Only a few shovels at the Copper King Mine, a short history of the early steam shovel at Bingham Canyon Mine, through time always getting bigger and better. Some of the pictures are from the Larry Sax collection found at utahrail.net. and the Utah Historical Society.

Step by step instruction from cutting out, painting, and placing on the layout, you can never have enough trees, different variety types and color is good, it adds to your layout.

You might have seen these side dump waste cars working tramp work around any line, at Bingham Canyon mine they were part of the main roster, 1961 they had 258 in service. The stripping ratio. was 3 to 1 moving waste rock to get to the ore. Some of the pictures are from the Larry Sax collection found at utahrail.net.

Going through some of my old photos of Bingham canyon mine (my prototype) I realized I did not have a rotary drill at the Copper King mine. It is not a H O model you can buy, so I scratch built one using a tank from All A Dollar, parts from trains, bridges, and buildings I had leftover. I did not know it was going to turn out so good, I wish I would have filmed the progress. I am going to make a video on my YouTube channel, (Bingham Canyon and Copper King mine), telling about Bingham Canyon Drill and Blast department, it is an exciting time when they blasted at the mine.

I show you all my techniques for accessing all the track for cleaning, wrecks, and maintenance. With trap doors, behind mountains hollow, bridges lift off, large tunnel openings and even kneeing on the layout. I learned my lesson from my first 4X8 layout.

The trucks were the demise of the trains at Bingham Canyon Mine and this is what I drove when I worked at the mine, so we need to talk about Haulage Trucks.
