Pictorial Histories Publishing. Softcover. New. Over Homestake Pass on The Butte Short Line: The Construction Era 1888-1929. In the 1880s the Northern Pacific Railroad's management decided to bypass Butte, Montana, in favor of a main line through Helena 40 miles to the north. At that time the mining region around Helena appeared to be a more lucrative source of traffic and offered a lower crossing of the continental divide after the completion of the Mullan Tunnel. Within three years, however, that situation changed as Butte began its conversion to a copper center, becoming known as the 'Richest Hill on Earth.' In 1886 the NP began a decade-long struggle to find a satisfactory route into Butte'first from Garrison, then from Helena, and finally from Logan over Homestake Pass. The Butte Short Line is a history of that effort. The book chronicles surveys, agreements, and conflicts with the Union Pacific concerning rights-of-way in Jefferson Canyon, the Utah & Northern and the Montana Union. It examines…

Descripción:
Missoula, Montana, USA: Pictorial Histories Pub. Co, 2002. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 92 pages b/w photos - In 1881 the Northern Pacific Railroad contracted with Muir Bros. to bore a 3,850-foot tunnel through the Rocky Mountains of Montana. Beginning late that year, the contractors struggled to complete the project in time for the Last Spike Ceremony scheduled for September of 1883. When the enormity of the job and a partial collapse of the tunnel threatened that date, a temporary overhead line was constructed and utilized until November 1883. This book examines route selection, construction, and early operations over and through the continental divide. More than 100 photographs, maps and diagrams, timetables, track profile and accounts from newspapers, and trade journals document that portion of the NP main line from Helena to Garrison, Montana. Read about territorial politics, construction hardships, inaugural runs, fire and rockfall in the tunnel, and runaway trains as well as…
