    Not a repeat! Same location, perhaps a different aperture? Anyhow the clouds have moved from the previous shot. 4+ years later, I respond! lolz!

    I love how there are no stripes on the road.

    In 1939, this is what rush hour looked like.

    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.

    Come visit Copperhill, TN. The scenic wonder of the south.

    My grandfather worked here as a steel rigger most of his adult life, raising his kids and taking care of his family. From the 1920's into the late 50's. Long before Copperhill was a tourist destination for rafting, the copper mines were the main source of revenue for the community. Thank you so much for posting this picture. I've added it, with photo credits attached, to my genealogy page.

    Thank you, Life...through Leesha's lens for sharing your story. The photographer, Marion Post Wolcott, also took some black and white photos of this location at the same time, like this one: www.loc.gov/pictures/item/fsa2000032603/PP/
