Is there any train activity on the old San Manuel RR south of Mammoth, AZ?
I was photographing the old railroad the other day and was surprised to note that the tops of the rails were not rusty as if they had seen recent traffic. I noticed this even at the crossing on Highway 77.

Rails don't rust here as fast as they do elsewhere. I don't believe there is any rail activity on a regular basis, but there may be movements of construction equipment and/or materials via the rails.
I live in Tucson and haven't heard of any active railroading going on up there, but that does not mean they are not running locomotives and cars along them.
There are some active mines in that area, with more planning to open because of the high price of copper. I believe the mine at San Manuel is closed, but there are others in the area.
