Founded in 1893 by Marcus Daly, the BAP began hauling copper ore between Butte and Anaconda. The railroad was the first heavy-haul railroad to convert from steam to electricity. It also boasted the world&#8217;s longest tunnel. Although it is now a shortline railroad, it has a rich history and a rich heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Butte and Anaconda Historical Society has a wealth of information about the historic and cultural history of the area.

A visit to the Butte and Anaconda Historic District is an ideal way to enjoy the mountain views and the surrounding areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 1877, the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway began operations in Butte and Anaconda. This railroad was chartered as a common carrier by the United States government. The line served Butte, Anaconda, and other mining towns. It was operated as a common carrier until 1951 when it was withdrawn due to costs. The railroad&#8217;s main line was 25.7 miles long and paralleled the Milwaukee Road and Northern Pacific Railway. A branch line was 6.2 miles long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the late 1880s, the Butte, Anaconda and Pacific Railway electrified about 75 miles of its route. The railroad was a popular tourist attraction and was the largest Superfund site in the country. In the early nineteenth century, the Butte, Anacondo and Anaconda had the largest population in the country. Aside from Butte, it was one of the most populous areas in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The anti-Chinese sentiments in Butte and Anaconda were fueled by the economic depression and by labor unions. The two companies were the dominant force in mining in the area and, for a while, they were the only ones to have monopolized the area. In contrast, the Chinese population grew and became the primary consumer of copper. The two towns had the largest Chinese community in the U.S. and a rich culture that supported its industries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Butte and Anaconda Historic District is a U.S. National Historic Landmark district, which includes Butte, Anaconda, Walkerville, and the surrounding area.
