The first electric locomotives were putin service May 28, 1913, hauling ore carsbetween the East Anaconda yards andthe smelter. During the first sevenmonths of service, they made approxi-mately 201,000 miles and hauled about2, tons of ore. The electrified lines of this system ex-tend from the Butte Hill yard to thesmelter, a distance of 32 miles. Thereare numerous sidings, yards and smeltertracks that have been equipped with over-head trolley, making a total o
