		Trains transported copper ore to the Clarkdale smelter by standard gauge locos and ore cars, and Wahmann's book inspires those of us who want to model mining operations such as these.
		Locomotives used on the Jerome to Clarkdale line include a three-truck Climax loco (unusual for a mining operation), a couple of ALCO 0-6-0s, and eventually two ALCO 2-6-6-2 Mallets that were purchased to handle the heavy ore car loads from the mine to the smelter.
