Yes the eastern line went to the Boggs and Iron Queen mine for a few years of each era of the Hackberry Railroad. Can't see much of the east spur on google maps as it has been developed, but the mine dumps are still there. The first era directly served the Boggs Smelter and the second era had a ore transfer trestle with the Prescott and Eastern to handle the ore to the smelter at Meyer which only lasted a few years as well. The stack is still there along the highway. I got a photo of it from my trip in November there. I'll post shortly.

We have witnessed valley
and plain and crest,
Canon and pass we've scanned;
We have seen the best
of the glorious West,
by the trail of the Rio Grande
