- This page is not finished; I wanted to put up the images and map; some more descriptions and links are to follow but I have a long way to go in all this!

T1/T2/T3 (on Survivors Map) - three big Butte, Anaconda & Pacific electric box motors were reputedly at Butte, Harlowton, and Deer Lodge, Montana. Of these three, I can show you only the first, 1914 GE #47, on display at the Anselmo mine yard [although the property of the World Museum of Mining (located by Montana Tech)] in Butte, along with Tractor Truck ("slug") No. T-2 of the same vintage.

Oops! The above had said "are" instead of "were" since I created the boxcab pages but I've long since known the other two are NOT BA&P and the one at Deer Lodge isn't even a real boxcab but a streamliner! I finally got out there on 13-14 Aug 2004 and saw them for myself; much more on all this, with pictures, follows momentarily. (10 Sep 04)

Notice that the axles are numbered along the sides of the loco and tractor truck and that the T-2 "tractor truck' is just that, a tractor motor (slug) made from just one weighted truck (on a jumper cable).

Martin Fouts ("Old Fogey") has quite a bit about the BA&P, click HERE to go there.
