Pete,
Here's a screenshot from an ATSF video. Kennecott 76 tonner with two overburden dump cars, two ATSF ore cars and a shovel. Not sure of the date.

Is that catenary?  If so, what kind of electric engines were in use here?

Use this link to access the TIFF version and enlarge it to see quite a bit of detail.
Taken at the copper mine at Santa Rita, New Mexico.
ATSF 172969 is a Class Ga-9 Caswell car built by AC&F in 1924. ATSF 173808 is a Class Ga-11 built by AC&F in 1926.
Also in view is Conoco tank car CONX 2600.
