Isolated Equipment

[edit]

Does anyone know how the locomotives and hopper cars got there? Were they trucked in from Flagstaff? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.37.244.76 (talk) 21:24, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I believe so. I was told that in a casual conversation with a Salt River Project employee.-Vorenus (talk) 17:45, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Operations

[edit]

Does anyone know what the future of the new freight cars and the refurbished locomotives are now that the coal plant is slated for closure in 2019?

I wonder if the plant will actually close, given the administration change. It's a fairly new & well-maintained plant. --Pete Tillman (talk) 14:59, 16 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's now officially over.

Why did it exist?

[edit]

Why was the power plant not built right at the mine site, such that the railrood would not be needed? Acwilson9 (talk) 20:39, 2 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
