Very nice documentary... but you wouldn't catch me nowhere even close to that massive thing.. i have a fear of large machines..it's called mechanophobia and i also have a fear of things under water that's called..submechanophobia

another great video.. :)

Great video again.

Hi 👋🏻 Tim another great video 👍🏻

I remember those two blocks

I'm hungry for Bingham canyon history I wish I could have lived it

Hey I grew up in Tooele. Its good to know this history. I grew up not far from the site!

Glad I found this :)

My father and his family were from Bingham what happened to all the stuff from a town? What I mean is the Police uniforms, city documents, all the schools had photos and records, churches, stores, and hotels. What happen to everything?

nice pictures tim

It is an awe-inspiring spectacular view that will move the hardest of men.

Nice photos, but as a person who is not very tall I am offended by the title of this video "Short People staring at the Mine"... If the people in the photos were tall, would you have made a big deal out of it?? This is just one more example of the prejudice against short people that has always existed in the mining and railroad community. just kidding... 😉

Yes, some feet. lol

I went up to the visitor's center at the mine last week. They have the plaque up there under a haul truck bed they have on display. Next to a few picnic tables. It's been polished and shined so I didn't recognize it until I looked closer at a picture I took once I got home.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

Great Video.. thanks for sharing

Thanks! Very interesting!

😮😮the longest building in the world was long 😮those train pictures are really nice 👍🏻 great video Tim 😁

The most important workers at the mine are the accountants. If they don't get it right, the whole operation collapses, not just a mining face

What the heck was the deal with the guitar drowning out the end of the narrative? FWIW, the locomotives shown are quite unique. They're EMD GP39-2's, but they were specially ordered by Kennecott Copper with a higher than normal underframe clearance, high short noses, and extra-height cabs for better visibility in the mine complex. A total of 32 of these were built with these specifications in the late 70's and early 80's.

another great video

I was the company mechanic on the job during the summer of 1986. The company was Gibbons and Reed's scab arm "Bear River Contractors." We were booted off the job because of safety violations that fall.

Awesome morning

Excellent Tim, Thank You, for the wonderful diesel roster review.

I was actually thinking about Isengard just before you mentioned it!

My parents O'toniel & Evan Sanchez raised 11 children (me included) in Bingham - few personal photos survived. 🚜 Four of us are still kicking. Youngest 74. Oldest 87. Love the videos !

I viewed this twice so far :)

Interesting Hiram Bingham was a relative cousin through Thomas bingham and mary rudd

cool video tim

Thank you for saving this bit of history. I wonder how many of these machines are still operating in 2024?

Very cool. Do not see diesel at the mines very often. Thanks for sharing.

What idiots does greed bred.

They don't come like him anymore

Wow! I assembled new haul trucks for Komatsu there in the past. That shop looks familiar.

Nice 👍🏻 video 💯

This is awesome!

My mom grew up in Bingham Canyon back when it was also a town and not just an open pit mine

My dad and his father lived in the mining camp with their family of 10 (!) and worked at the Copper King Mine in the 30's. Thanks for the photographs!

fantastic bridges

Just some fantastic bridges. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! So interesting, I think everyone in salt lake somehow has an old connection to the mine. I do remember that the pedestrian bridge on the south side of the Trolley Square Mall used to be some small ore bridge or something, do you remember that?

My grandpa worked there too

I have probably driven by that site 5,000 times and never knew it was there. Thank you.

The vantage point changes a lot , so it's hard to know what I'm looking at from slide to slide.

nice video tim

Wow! What a great photo. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

had no idea. moved here in 2001 . I guess I have had several surgeries at the location tho...

Kill the music👎👎👎👎👎💩💩😬

Very interesting, great explanation!
