Remarks & Notes |
The third Freeport Mcmoran Hill Turn drops down the 3-5% grade above Clifton. This is the largest copper leach facility in the world. The massive white mountain in the background is tailings from what is one of the largest copper mines in America. The train is heading for the interchange yard with the Arizona & Eastern at Clifton. |
