Oh for the chance to go back and look around that area... Date: 09/22/18 19:18 Re: Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway -- Rick Burn Author: mitch45 In 2005 the shop area still had a lot of old box cars complete with Fox trucks stored.
Date: 09/22/18 19:46 Re: Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway -- Rick Burn Author: fbe The boxcar is at the old BA&P passenger station. The Milwaukee as in C.M.& P.S. shared it until their new station was built a few blocks away then the BA&P moved to that station as well. The BA&P station stood until a few years ago when it was bulldozed to make room for a warehouse.

Those are Fox trucks under her! We have a boxcar out at Orange Empire Railway Museum that also has Fox Ttrucks. The roster does not say what road it was from. James R.(Jim) Baker Whittier, CA Date: 09/22/18 20:43 Re: Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway -- Rick Burn Author: wattslocal At Orange Empire we have BA&P box car 20. It was trucked all the way from Butte without any problems. It also has Fox Patent trucks, and has been repainted, but needs lettering to complete the job.
Watts local. Date: 09/22/18 21:07 Re: Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway -- Rick Burn Author: callum_out There were 15 to 20 left in Anaconda, I believe most were scrapped.
