  WHAT is being done at Copperhill TODAY? The railroad is still there but looks as if it needs repairs; but, is any sulphuric acid coming from there today?

• Red Necks know stuff said:

  Acid production stopped in 2001 at Copperhill. The company is still in operation today selling iron calcine that was produced in the 1970's - 80's and stockpiled. The rail yard and line belong to a Heritage tourism group who run passenger excursion over the "Old Line" and lease the yard for rail car storage.

  If the date is right this was the opening game of the World Series. The game was won by Cleveland over Brooklyn, 3-1 and went on to take the Series.
