	As of June 1928, the company was using two gasoline powered shovels, each capable of handling 75 tons in an 8 hour shift. At that time they were considering larger shovels.		As of June 1928, the company was using two gasoline powered shovels, each capable of handling 75 tons in an 8 hour shift. At that time they were considering larger shovels.

	In May 1931, the DVRR equipment, rails, and other material were removed, and shipped to Carlsbad New Mexico, for the U.S. Potash operations. In preparation for the change, the clay railroad was converted to standard gauge, and shipments were now made directly via standard gauge cars provided by the Tonopah & Tidewater. Reportedly, T&T locomotive no. 1 was kept available to switch the clay spur. By 1933 the output was down to 4,000 tons.

	The company owned 12, narrow gauge 4-wheel side dump “steam shovel cars”, likely built by the Western Wheeled Scraper Co., for use in the clay fields. Between 1928 and 1930, the Death Valley Railroad provided 12 narrow gauge hoppers. After the third rail was removed, the Tonopah and Tidewater provided 5, 55-ton gondolas to move the clay from Bradford Siding to Death Valley Junction.
