July 8, 1908 Bingham & Garfield Railway was incorporated in Utah by individuals who were also officers of Utah Copper Company; the company was organized on July 1, 1908. Utah Copper's annual report for the year ending December 31, 1911 shows the following for the Bingham & Garfield Railway: Grading for the Bingham & Garfield Railway was started on April 22nd, 1910, and completed in August, 1911. During that period, there were removed in excavations for the line 746,970 cubic yards of solid rock, 618,222 cubic yards of loose rock and 315,079 cubic yards of earth, a total of 1,680,271 cubic yards. Four tunnels were driven having an aggregate length of 4,798 feet, of which it was found necessary to line 2,963 feet with timber. These tunnels are all located in the first three miles of line from the Bingham end. In that distance there are also three steel bridges, containing about 3,000 tons of steel and having an aggregate length of 2,000 feet. The maximum heights of these bridges, beginning with the one across Carr Fork at the upper end of the line, are 190, 225 and 188 feet respectively. The total length of tunnels and bridges, together with their approaches, in the upper three miles of the line constitute about one-half that distance. The main line between the Utah Copper Mine and the mills at Garfield is laid with 90-lb. steel. The extension from the mills at Garfield to connect with the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake Ry. and the yards at all points are laid with 65-lb. steel. The line was completed and put in operation for freight service on the 15th day of September, 1911.
