Description

Volume 3 in this series focuses on the railroads that made up the majority of those in Arizona -- industrial railways built to serve the copper industry. This book casts an authoritative light on the economic development of Arizona by detailing not only the construction and operation of the industrial railways but also the transient camps, the permanent towns and cities, and their residents. The author also covers the communities of Clifton, Morenci and Metcalf in detail as well as the construction of Lordstown, New Mexico (where the railroad connected to the SP), and mining in nearby Shakespeare and Hachita. This volume also includes detailed rosters for all the Arizona short line railroads. Illustrated throughout with black and white photos and numerous maps. 342 pages with index.
