I was there a year ago and there was a sign on the station that the museum was being moved to the roundhouse. We were unable to get inside the fence but it appeared there were some older RR items outside.

http://www.utahrails.net/articles/montana-union.php And a map showing the railroads between Butte and Garrison on Montana Rail Link. https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=z9Sv4Kfh_z7E.keQfISDLSDpg I have always found the Montana Union story very interesting.

There is a slag locomotive on the east side of anaconda. The substantial collection of fox truck wooden boxcars and arch bar truck ore hoppers were sadly scrapped en masse. The belt driven machinery in the machine shop was similarly tossed.
