Bingham Canyon Mine, 1942

Original - Bingham Canyon Mine, November 1942. A train in the background carries material to the dump.

Reason: Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah has been in operation since 1906 and its cumulative production of copper ranks second in the world. It also produces large quantities of gold, silver, and molybdenum. This early color photograph gives a sense for the size of the operation in 1942.

Support, amazing quality for an old photo. Just wondering though, where's the 'train in the background'? M.Nelson (talk) 20:46, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think I see it at the left end of one of the bridges. Durova^Charge! 22:32, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great capture to the photographer, great find to the nominator. Can you move this picture up in the article, and the one on the left down, but make the thumb a bit bigger? I will if no-one else finds the time. A little formatting of the picture in the article would be nice.--Blechnic (talk) 22:41, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
