See The Copperhead, Clifton, Arizona
As with most industries of the 19th and early 20th century the mining industry relied heavily on the railroads which is true even still today. The local locomotives were numbered and often had “official” names. The little locomotive on display in Clifton next to the Old Jail is the #8 locomotive or “The Copperhead”. The #8 locomotive was used to haul ore between Clifton and Longfellow. Throughout the years ownership of “The Copperhead" has gone from Arizona Copper Company, Phelp’s Dodge, a scrap metal collector, a mayor and finally the Town of Clifton. It was beautifully and carefully restored by Thomas Sidebotham.
