Morenci ore retrieval

My great-grandfather, Joe Beck, was the station agent for this mine: he ran the train station where the copper was transferred from the narrow-gauge railcars used in the mine itself to the full size cars.

(Correct me if I’ve got any of this wrong, Dad. :) I’m also not sure exactly when he was there, or for how long…?)
