What is Tucson, Cornelia and Gila Bend Railroad mean?
The Tucson, Cornelia and Gila Bend Railroad went from Gila Bend, Arizona to Ajo, Arizona.
The railroad was incorporated in 1915 for use by the New Cornelia mine at Ajo. Originally, the railroad was intended to connect to Tucson. The railroad was in operation from 1916 until the 1980s.
The station of Childs was established in 1916 six miles north of Ajo. Childs was named for local rancher and miner Tom Childs, who discovered copper at Ajo. In 1934, Childs was described as having a post office and station.
In 1926, it was reported that the track was 44.327 miles long and that the railroad owned an additional 3.310 miles of tracks and sidings.
