In the 1960s there were trains of iron ore from this mine moving westbound on the SP. I recall one train with 18 SD 7s or 9s, eight on the front, eight in the middle and two on the rear. Did the SP consist run all the way to the mine or did Kaiser have enough of a railroad to deliver this kind of tonnage to the SP?

The obliteration of the railroad along the UP is the result of double tracking the Sunset Route. A more up to date photo would show that the UP is now double track here.
