Does anyone know the history of a passenger car on the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railroad in Montana? Any pictures? |

Where in Montana? The one in Anaconda or the one in Alder? Steve |

The one in Anaconda is not a historic BA&P car (I think it is former GN). The sole surviving car from the BA&P is at Nevada City (between Alder and Virginia City MT). It is in rough condition right now. I'll rummage in my notes and see if I can post a PDF of what I've researched on the car. Alternately, I can send a PM to those so interested.

Here is a link to an earlier thread. I'm not sure if the cars mentioned in Mike's report include the one you are asking about. http://www.rypn.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=11258&hilit=virginia+city+alder |

I am looking for information on the 6 axle car in Anaconda. Picture would be great. I guess it has roller bearings? |

The car Jack is asking about is located at the City of Anaconda visitors center. The center is in an ersatz rail station appearing building (non historic--though the BA&P and Montana Union depots both survive). Along with the car, there is also a smelter "push motor" and an ore car on the property. Photos of the passenger car are at this link: http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMMM ... naconda_MT Michael Seitz Missoula MT |

The car I'm talking about has roller bearings and on live rail. Any ideas? |

I beleive that Jack is talking about a single car up near the roundhouse across from Washoe Park. The car is on live track. I can't get a good view with Google Maps. |
