  2. Chino 37 and 38 were sent to Nevada in 1940 after Chino was electrified; not needed at Nevada because after the 1937 lawsuit settlement with Consolidated Coppermines, the McGill concentrator started milling between 6000 and 9000 tons a day for Consolidated Coppermines. This postponed expansion of the Liberty Pit and that, and the war delayed the rebuilding of the 37 and 38 into Nevada 0-6-2T's 75 and 76. Nevada also bought two of the Chino Alco 0-6-0T's so they could retire most of the old ex pit engines in use at the McGill concentrating plant. (Steve Swanson email dated January 11, 2012)
  3. Saw only limited service as Copper Flat yard switcher in 1940-41 and set aside thereafter.
  4. Steam jam engine brake. Cross compound air compressors removed at Chino and replaced with one or two single stage compressors.
  5. Scrapped at McGill in Autumn 1951.

Five of the eight ex Utah Copper Baldwins were sold to NCCCo. Nevada Mines, The Chino 37 and 38 were not rebuilt at Nevada because after the 1937 lawsuit settlement with Consolidated Coppermines, the McGill concentrator started milling between 6000 and 9000 tons a day for Consolidated Coppermines. This postponed expansion of the Liberty Pit and that, and the war, delayed the building of the 37 and 38 into Nevada 0-6-2T's 75 and 76. Charlie Rose, the master mechanic at Ruth, was a big proponent of the diesel locomotives and though he didn't live to see them in service, he had been a big factor in the early retirement of the steam engines at Copper Flat. Nevada also bought two of the Chino Alco 0-6-0T's so they could retire most of the old ex pit engines in use at the McGill concentrating plant. (Steve Swanson email dated January 11, 2012)

Description:

  • Tractive Effort: 32,300 pounds
  • Coal: 3
  • Water: 2,000 gallons
  • Cylinders: 21x24 inches
  • Drivers: 50 inches

General Notes:

  1. Built new as Utah Copper Co. 81-88 (0-6-0 Side Tank); to NCCCo. Sold to Nevada on January 11, 1929
  2. Utah Copper electrified in 1928 resulting in a surplus of steam locomotives. Six of their newer Baldwin's (No.'s 81, 83, 84, 86, 87, and 88) were sold to Nevada Consolidated Copper, Nevada Mines in January, 1929.
  3. All eight locomotives were rebuilt at Nevada with 0-6-2 wheel arrangement, circa 1936-1937, with extended frame, enlarged cab, trailing truck, and large coal bunker.
  4. NCCC 81 was rebuilt to 0-6-2ST, circa 1940 with extended frame, enlarged cab, trailing trucks, and large coal bunker.
  5. NCCC 82 came from Chino to Nevada during the prolonged Chino shutdown 1933-1937.
  6. NCCC 84 had rivet lines on cab and coal bunker, as well as the handrails on the tanks are in their original position. NCCC 84 was the only Utah Baldwin whose tank handrails were not moved to the top of the tank.
  7. NCCC 85 came from Chino to Nevada in 1940 after the Chino electrification.
  8. NCCC 86 was the only Utah engine that retained the cab door is its original position, suggesting that it may have been the first of the Utah Baldwins rebuilt into the 0-6-2ST configuration. The door was moved back towards the rear of the cab on the other engines.
  9. NCCC 87 was transferred to Kennecott, Utah Copper Division circa October, 1950.
  10. At the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950, six of the Nevada Baldwins were transferred to Kennecott's Utah Copper Division, as they were short of power. UCD had not purchased any new 750-volt Electrics for mine service since 1942 and the new 750-volt, 125-ton Electrics were not delivered until March 1952.
  11. "List of Locomotives Owned By Western Properties of Kennecott Copper Corporation," dated September 1, 1937; shows numbers 81-88 as assigned to Nevada.
  12. NCCC 81, 83, and 84 were returned to Utah in late 1950.
  13. NCCC 82, 85, 86 and 88 were sent for scrap to McGill in Autumn 1951.

  2. Commonly listed as transferred to NCCCo in October 1937, but more likely in 1929 concurrent with the Bingham pit railway electrification (1928-1929) that released many steam engines for NCCCo Nevada Mines Division and Chino Mines Division. Also, a note in the NCCCo files indicates NCCCo no. 300 was overhauled (reflued and relagged) in 1931.

  1. Purchased new as NCCCo. no. 502 and 503
  2. Long narrow firebox and difficult to fire.
  3. Long wheelbase (19' 10" total) not conducive to pit work due to tight curves at pit bottom; NCCC tried to keep the 500 series locomotives out of the bottom of the pit.
  4. NCCC 502 was very often the switch engine working to Kimberly.
  5. Both locomotives were overhauled and stored near the carpenter shop in Ruth after dieselization.
  6. Scrapped, perhaps as late as 1953.
