    So much copper was needed to make weapons that 1943 pennies were minted in steel.

    The levels (terraces) were named alphabetically, with the bottom being "A". I can see five trains, pulled by the electric pit motors, on levels A, D, E, F and G.

    Oh my GERSH. That's a phenomenal photograph. This whole collection is a mindblowing privilege to be exploring. To the folks responsible for digitizing and publicizing it: nice work.

    Amazing photo indeed, but I cannot find the "train in the background" I even went to persistent URL, and still couldn't find it. If anyone can find it please add note so I can see it.

Open-pit workings of the Utah Copper Company, Bingham Canyon, Utah. This is the Carr Fork side from which the company obtains huge amounts of ore. The Carr Fork bridge and main shops appear in the foreground (LOC)
