6. Original organization was Utah Copper Company, which operated the Bingham mine, and the Magna and Arthur concentrator mills, and the Bingham & Garfield Railway, which operated the common carrier railroad between the mine and the mills, using steam locomotives. The Bingham & Garfield was also known within Utah Copper as the Ore Delivery Department.
7. Utah Copper was purchased by Kennecott Copper Corporation in 1936 and became the Utah Copper Division in 1941. The Bingham & Garfield Railway was replaced in late 1947 by a new, all-electric, low grade line (called the Copperton Low Line) between the mine and the mills. At the same time the operating organization was changed from the Bingham & Garfield Railway to Ore Haulage. The mine locomotives and trains were operated by the mine organization, connecting with Ore Haulage at the Copperton yard. Ore Haulage operated all of the remaining rail organization, including the ore trains, the mill dumpers, and all local and yard switching at the mills and the refinery. The rail operations at the Utah smelter were always operated by the smelter organization.
8. The mine-to-mill Ore Haulage organization was dissolved on June 30, 1984, and replaced by the Haulage Division. The Mine Division retained operation of the rail operations in the Bingham mine.
9. Kennecott also owned the Ray Mines Division at Ray, Arizona, the Chino Mines Division at Santa Rita and Hurley, New Mexico, and the Nevada Mines Division at Ely and McGill, Nevada.
