For big jobs around both Copper King mine and Bingham Canyon mine you bring out the Big Hook.

Trains to Bingham came through Bingham Junction (Midvale) then to Bingham canyon byway of the Bingham and Camp Floyd Railroad 1873. Smelters here processed ores from the mines.

We take a look at my layout plan, going through changes right up to laying the track.

Bringing the old steam engine out to go back in time to visit the community of Highland Boy, totally ate away by the encroaching mine.

From an idea to digging out my crawl space under my family room to starting the project, starting something has a power of its own.

Prototype Bingham canyon mine and the communities around the mine, influenced the building of the Copper King Mine and Railroad.

I am showing the train room, photos on the walls, display trains, memorabilia of the mine and trains, lights, flooring, and storage area.

Larks connection with the Bingham Canyon mine.

Exciting time when they Blast at the mine, the ground shakes a large piece of mountain lifts into the air then settles back down, gigantic shovels go to work filling haul trucks (once trains). From the beginning of open cut mining it been part of this hard rock excavating. Some of the pictures are from the Kennescope Magazine.

We are looking for deer at the Copper King Mine, this is a fun thing for young visitors at my layout, trying to spot all the deer. Deer at Bingham Canyon mine, the photo with deer and the mine in the background is from Facebook Bingham Canyon History a Gerald Mikich post.
