Clifton, Arizona, USA. Once a booming copper mining town but now mostly declining or already in decay and the majority of people and business have moved just up the road to Morenci. The Freeport McMoRan copper mine located in Morenci is one of the largest in the world
Cliff dwellings along the San Francisco and Gila Rivers are evidence of an advanced civilization that existed long before Caesar ruled Rome. Many specimens of pottery and stone implements are still to be found in these ancient dwelling places. In the mid-1500s, both Fray Marcos de Niza and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado passed through the area, following the San Pedro north to the Gila River. Geronimo was born in 1829 near the confluence of Eagle Creek and the San Francisco and Gila Rivers.
In 1856 the first mineral discoveries of the Morenci/Clifton area were found by California volunteers pursuing Apaches, and conflicts between the Apaches and advancing Anglo settlers touched off a 26-year-long war. Mining for gold and silver began in 1864, followed by copper in 1872, and the mine at Morenci quickly grew to become the largest copper producer in North America. Clifton's population ballooned from 600 in 1880 to 5000 by 1910, and it quickly earned its reputation as the wildest of the "Wild West" boomtowns. Neighboring Morenci was swallowed up by an open pit mine in the 1960s, but Clifton was preserved, and today Chase Creek Street is still graced with lovely Victorian-era buildings from the town's halcyon days as the place to quickly make and lose a fortune.
In 1983, Clifton survived two nearly fatal blows, first a nearly three-year-long strike that began on June 30, 1983. Then later that same year, on October 2, 1983, Tropical Storm Octave sent 90,900 cubic feet of water per second into the San Francisco River, which burst its banks, destroying 700 homes and heavily damaging 86 of the town's 126 businesse

While all of the attention was centered on the CSX business train on this day, BNSF nearly snuck their own business cars through St. Louis unnoticed. Thanks to a couple of birdies the night before and a rare free moment in my work schedule, I was able to buzz downtown for a look at the O-WQMBIR2-10. BNSF 8341 West makes its way down the TRRA High Line and is approaching the interlocking at Gratiot.

Fog, rain, sleet, snow, 24 degrees, and we're going to go dead on the way back tonight. You can only pass the time by sleeping so long. I made about 80 bucks today with my eyes closed.
The DP off the MNLKC on the right would soon be plucked off and added to our head end since we were over tonnage going home. We hogged at Little Blue after going in emergency coming off the east side of Independence Hill.

Another Amtrak train passing by thus creating this pretty cool reflection in the window of my train.
Hope you all had a fun and safe new year celebration!
I'm going to try to upload my trip shots in rough sequence although the train shots will be a mix of coming and going.
