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 (booknews.com)

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. This lavishly illustrated story of technology, people, and commerce describes the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific Railway's hauling of vast amounts of copper ore from Butte Hill, Montana, westward to smelter operations at Anaconda--a distance of twenty-six miles. Charles V. Mutschler puts the saga in context, whether discussing the labor violence of the 1890s, the role of steam during America's Gilded Age, or the expansion of highway competition since the 1920s.Founded in 1892 and owned by Anaconda Copper, the BA&P led the way in early twentieth century electrified railroading. In 1912, General Electric was contracted to convert the short line's operations from steam to electric. The BA&P became a proving ground for railroad electrification and the center of attention for electric-power advocates. In particular, the Milwaukee Road--soon to be a leader in main line electrification--took a very keen interest in the BA&P.For the first time in book-length treatment, Wired for Success delineates the BA&P's essential role in the development of electric railroads in the United States. This lavishly illustrated story of technology, people, and commerce describes the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific Railway's hauling of vast amounts of copper ore from Butte Hill, Montana, to smelter operations twenty-six miles west. Wired for Success also delineates the BA&P's essential role in developing electric railroads in the United States.
