Wired for Success: The Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway, 1892-1985

Founded in 1892, the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific Railway carried tons of copper ore just 26 miles from Butte Hill, Montana to smelters in Anaconda. In this text, Mutschler (history, Eastern Washington U.) presents a history of the BA&P and discusses the industry-wide ramifications of its conversion from steam to electricity in 1912. The volume is illustrated throughout with b&w photographs of trains and railway workers. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
