Opened in 1920, the Copper Mountain Subdivision ran for 13.3 miles (21.4 km) from Princeton to the rich mine on Copper Mountain, and included 24 trestles and four tunnels. The line's fortunes depended on this copper mine, which ran off and on until 1957. Shortly afterwards, Copper Mountain Subdivision was abandoned and the line dismantled.
Today, sections of the original roadbed from Princeton to Smelter Lakes can still be hiked or cycled. South of this polygon and all the way to Smelter Lakes, the railbed has become a public road - Allenby Road.
