Grandma Crane had a chance to see the new Kennecott Copper Visitors Center recently when a bunch of us took a field trip there. The deep pit, old equipment and movie took her back to a time long forgotten when trains carried the valuable metals from the big shovel loads of dirt to the smelter in Magna. Each level or tier had a train on it. Dad worked there on the track gang, as a brakeman and eventually became an engineer driving the trains.
Mom couldn't believe the enormity of the pit and how it has changed over the years.
