Remarks & Notes

The changing of the guard on New Year's Day '79: Kennecott Copper's 125 ton GE electric pit motors share trackage at Copperton Yard with high cab EMD GP39-2s. The diesels were replacing the venerable electrics in the world's largest open pit copper mine.

From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
