General Notes:

a.	General Electric records show that these seven locomotives were built for Utah Copper Co. even though that company had became the Utah Copper Division of Kennecott Copper Corp. in January 1941.
b.	Built as KCC 1-7, renumbered to KCC 401-407 in May 1964.
c.	Equipped with dynamic braking.
d.	Equipped for operation on both 3000 VDC mainline voltage and 750 VDC yard voltage to allow shared use of yard tracks in Copperton yard with the 750 VDC, 700-class Bingham mine electrics.
e.	These locomotives were operated in 2-locomotive sets to power the 18 daily 28-mile round trips between Copperton yard and the mills at Magna and Arthur, and after 1964, Bonneville, with a average annual mileage of 50,000 miles; between the time of their delivery in 1948 and 1964, there were two locomotives assigned on a rotating basis to the car dumpers at both the Magna and Arthur mills, leaving five locomotives available for road trains; the expansion of operations in 1964 required additional motive power to operate additional trains for the new Bonneville mill, so additional locomotives were transferred to Utah from Kennecott's Chino operations in New Mexico and rebuilt for specific assignment to the car dumpers, releasing all seven road locomotives to road service.
f.	During early 1974, Kennecott studied the possibility of converting the Copperton Low grade line from 3000 VDC to 25000 VAC; both EMD (with ASEA of Sweden) and GE expressed an interest. (Pacific News, Issue 146, December 1973, page 17)
g.	During late May 1978 the Copperton Low Grade line was shut down for ten days; the 400-class electrics were replaced by leased UP GP30s 807 and 809 and new high-cab GP39-2s 779 and 780; the shut down came from lightening damage to the substation at Cypress, halfway between Bingham and Magna.

Notes:

1.	KCC 402 was donated, along with 80-ton and 125-ton electrics 700 and 771 and dump car 539, to Western Railway Museum, Rio Vista Junction, Calif. in August 1984; moved to Deseret Peak Complex near Grantsville, Utah (date?).
2.	KCC 406 was converted to 750 VDC to operate in the Bingham mine in March 1980 but was never used in regular service. The electrics had been replaced by the SD40-2s by this time.

General Notes:

All three locomotives were built as Kennecott-Chino Mines Division locomotives; transferred to Utah in 1964 due to expansion in operations at Bingham; rebuilt for specific assignment to the Magna and Arthur car dumpers, releasing all of the seven road locomotives from car dumper service to road service to move the additional ore tonnage required by new Bonneville mill.

Converted from 750 VDC used at Chino to 3000 VDC used by Ore Haulage; work was done by Westinghouse in their Salt Lake City, Utah, facility; all three locomotives originally looked like the 766-773 class Bingham mine locomotives and were completely rebuilt by Westinghouse with new car bodies that included bay windows for the engineer and full width car bodies at the rear that allowed better visibility at the Magna, Arthur, and Bonneville car dumpers.

Notes:

1.	KCC 408 and 409, along with 80-ton electric 703, were donated to Boone Valley Historical Society, Boone, Iowa, in November 1985, delivered in June 1986.

General Notes:

a.	Built as 75-ton locomotives, re-ballasted by Utah Copper as 85-ton locomotives.
b.	Numbers 700, 702, 703, and 724 had 170,600 pounds operating weight and 33000 pounds tractive effort, and were equipped for both 750 VDC overhead and 600 VDC storage battery operations. Storage batteries were used in line relocation work in the Bingham mine where overhead power was not available. The batteries had a 500-hour running time and were recharged through the catenary. The battery feature was only used occasionally after highway trucks were adapted for use in the mine beginning in the 1930s and 1940s.
c.	One source says that Utah Copper 703 was built as Utah Copper 701. This seems unlikely because of the sequence of builder numbers. GE numbers 10640-10656 are accounted for; most are small electric mine locomotives built for use inside coal mines, all built between February and October 1928.
d.	Numbers 709, 712, 718, 728, and 730 were equipped for both overhead and cable reel operation. Cable reels were used in line relocation work in the Bingham mine where overhead power was not available. The cable was 800 feet in length and was connected at a junction box at the nearest overhead support. The cable feature was only used occasionally after highway trucks were adapted for use in the mine beginning in the 1930s and 1940s.
e.	Numbers 704-723, 725-747 had 172,800 pounds operating weight and 35,000 pounds tractive effort.
f.	Numbers 737, 738, 740, and 741 had 185,380 pounds operating weight and 55,600 pounds tractive effort, and were originally used by the Ore Delivery Department (B&G Ry.) as car-dumper locomotives at Magna and Arthur mills, joining 80-ton electrics 1000 and 1001 purchased to electrify the car dumper yards in 1924. The 80-ton and 85-ton locomotives were joined by 100-ton electric number 600 in 1942. All seven locomotives were transferred to the Bingham mine in December 1948 upon beginning of operations of the new low-grade Ore Haulage line. The dumper yards at the mills were converted to 3000 VDC to allow use of the larger Ore Haulage locomotives in rotation with regular mine-to-mill service.
g.	Numbers 748-760 had 169,300 pounds operating weight and 35,000 pounds tractive effort.
h.	Builder plate specifications show B+B, 150/150-4GHM818A, 750VDC
1.	Locomotives retired in 1972-1979, and in March and April 1982 (total of 53 locomotives) were stored in the vicinity of Dry Forks shops, and on out-of-service tracks until all were gathered and stored along the abandoned Bingham & Garfield track above Copperton until all were sold for salvage in May 1982; throughout the summer of 1982 the salvage dealer scrapped the locomotives where they sat and hauled away the scrap metal in trucks.
j.	Locomotives retired in August 1982 and in 1983 (total of eight locomotives) were either donated for preservation, or were scrapped by Kennecott at Dry Forks shops.

Notes:

1.	KCC 700 was donated, along with 125-ton electrics 402 and 771 and dump car 539, to Western Railway Museum (Rio Vista Junction, California) in August 1984.
2.	(KCC 701) was wrecked on September 1, 1928 while in transit to Utah Copper, scrapped by Utah Copper on June 1, 1931.
3.	KCC 703 was donated, along with 125-ton electrics 408 and 409, to Boone Valley Historical Society (Boone, Iowa) in November 1985, delivered in June 1986.
4.	KCC 708 was renumbered to KCC 720 on December 13, 1979, to clear the number for use by a new GP39-2 to be delivered in 1980
5.	KCC 711 and 722 were transferred to Kennecott-Nevada Mines Division in 1974
6.	KCC 724 was donated to Puget Sound Railway Historical Society (Snoqualmie, Washington), along with RSD-4 909 and 50-ton dump car 212, shipped from Bingham mine on January 12, 1984; many air brake problems en route; delivered to Snoqualmie on July 11, 1984.
7.	KCC 759 was donated to NRHS-Promontory Chapter (Salt Lake City, Utah)
