Fancy Meeting You Here

The almost daily occurrence of an interchange handoff is about to commence in Downtown Clifton, Arizona between the Arizona & Eastern Railway & the Freeport McMoran Incorporated. Both railroad's jobs begin their journey at the top of the valleys, opposite each other. The AZER begins at South Siding on the South side of Clifton & the FMI begins in the middle of Morenci. AZER's route features six tunnels, while the FMI's route features a 3-4% grade. This is all a part of the endless production of Morenci's Copper Mine, one of the largest in North America.
