Reply to "Copper mining by Rail...electrics and steam engine..."

The Butte, Anaconda & Pacific was another famous copper mining railroad. I’m not sure what electric locomotives were used in the open pit mine near Butte, MT, but I do know they used their 2400 v. DC electrics to haul ore to the smelter.
