I don't believe that BHP Minerals has anything to do with the mines on
the BM&LP or the Navajo generating station at Page, Arizona.

They do, however, operate the three mines that feed the Four Corners
generating station.  The railroad that serves this power plant is also
electric and operates E60 locomotives.  The railroad is called the
Navajo Railroad, to add to the confusion, and operates entirely within
the plant's property.
