If you look south west, you will see the serpentine form of the large conveyor that brings the mauve colored rock from a quarry in the Newberry Mountains down to the crusher and grading yard of Hanson Aggregates. This conveyor is unique in that it is driven by electric motors until the weight of the rock moving down hill takes over. The electric motors are then switched and become electric generators that act as a brake for the conveyor and furnish electrical power that is sold to Southern California Edison offsetting the cost of the power used in the facility.
