The amount of growth along the "New Bigham Highway" is insane. I remember cavillation more or less came to an end at 4000 West when I worked at the pit in 1982. There's a 6-lane intersection at that point now. Thanks for your videos!

nice ride along ride tim look like a lot of nice stuff to look at in the visitor center

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

1970 i went past the Bingham Mine it look amazing then , obviously the hole has gotten even bigger lol ... Its some thing id like to do again but not in Trumpf's USA 😢😢😢😢😢😢

😮you got lucky finding those pictures they are really 😊

Very cool. Awesome that you have those photos. Thanks for sharing.

I know where Levi got the rivets now, still to learn where the blue cotton is grown :)

I never considered how much water from rain and snow that they'd have to manage. Great way to utilize it.

😮😮 awesome video 👏🏻

😮 Those are awesome 😎 pictures nice finds

If I entered the train room, I would not leave. :)

Love the old pictures. Thanks for sharing.

I got a good specimen of the slag from the smelter the mace's and the trips and the burkhart's were the first ones the homestead that land on bullion Street. It looks like it has a lot of lead and copper and silver and gold in it.

Fantastic story Tim. I have never seen these awesome photos of DinkeyVille. I had forgotten that some of the homes / duplexes were very nice residential housing. Thanks for your work and your wonderful photos. Joe

Thank you for this! The chief engineer's name is Junior Lowell England, and he worked for the Kenecott Copper Corporation. He is known as "Dutch" by those who know him. He's my grandfather. The Garfield Smelter Stack, affectionately known in the family as "the smoke stack," was the pinnacle of Dutch's accomplishments as a professional engineer. After serving as the Commander of a Boeing B-29 Superfrotress in the Army Air Corps during WWII, he attended the University of Utah, becoming a civil engineer. He spent his career working at Kenecott before he passed in 1984. During the smoke stack's design process, Dutch traveled around the world to study similar infrastructure before settling on this impressive design. My understanding is that the stack is a single piece of concrete that resulted from an 84-day continuous pour; helicopters were used to pour the highest portions; the stack is a landmark also utilized in local aviation; and as a technology for mitigating the affects of air pollution, the stack is now obsolete due to advances in air filtration technology as well as unintended consequences of atmospheric dispersion, such as down stream accumulation of pollutants in distant communities.

Two bridges built in 39 make me think FDR knew trouble was on the horizon :)

Awesome chronology.

another great video tim thanks for sharing it

It only takes faith to move mountains these days 😃

Very cool. Love seeing and hearing the history of the mine. Thanks for sharing.

This is awesome!

The shovel is probably an early Marion model 91. The same model used, along with Bucyrus 100's, in the Panama Canal. Daniel Jackling used the lessons learned in digging the Panama Canal to apply similar equipment to early surface mining.

steam shovel is cool

Isn't the morenci mine in Arizona the biggest to open pit copper mine in United States

As always, Tim, a very nice peace. Thank you for keeping this history alive

A well built machine. The famous Crown Coach School Buses were made by a company that also built Fire Engines. That's why they are so rugged and will be kept running like fire engines for many years past what would be considered the usual service life. Just like this Bingham Canyon 1939 Fire Engine.

that first fire truck was a really nice one

I'm glad the firetruck is still around making memories for today's children.

Awesome, Thank you

Cool. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

You made my morning, nicer. TY

😮 nice 💯 video Tim 💯

Very nice documentary... but you wouldn't catch me nowhere even close to that massive thing.. i have a fear of large machines..it's called mechanophobia and i also have a fear of things under water that's called..submechanophobia

another great video.. :)

Great video again.

Hi 👋🏻 Tim another great video 👍🏻

I remember those two blocks

I'm hungry for Bingham canyon history I wish I could have lived it

Hey I grew up in Tooele. Its good to know this history. I grew up not far from the site!

Glad I found this :)

My father and his family were from Bingham what happened to all the stuff from a town? What I mean is the Police uniforms, city documents, all the schools had photos and records, churches, stores, and hotels. What happen to everything?

nice pictures tim

It is an awe-inspiring spectacular view that will move the hardest of men.

Nice photos, but as a person who is not very tall I am offended by the title of this video "Short People staring at the Mine"... If the people in the photos were tall, would you have made a big deal out of it?? This is just one more example of the prejudice against short people that has always existed in the mining and railroad community. just kidding... 😉

Yes, some feet. lol

I went up to the visitor's center at the mine last week. They have the plaque up there under a haul truck bed they have on display. Next to a few picnic tables. It's been polished and shined so I didn't recognize it until I looked closer at a picture I took once I got home.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Great Video.. thanks for sharing

Thanks! Very interesting!
