Best Western Butte Plaza Inn        Copper King Express

Tentative plans include a ride on the 19th on the "Copper King Express." This is a tourist operation that rides over former BA&P rails from the South side of the former Great Northern passenger depot to Washoe Park in Anaconda MT. The train will lay over between the BA&P roundhouse and Washoe Park for some three hours. This date coincides with "Artfest" in Anaconda and there will be a variety of food vendors there. We also expect to get a tour of the BA&P roundhouse, much as we did in 1998 during our previous meet in Butte.

The evening of the 18th will feature our traditional evening format of slides and other entertainment.

Registration fee is $60 and will include the ticket for the train ride. All meals and lodging are the responsibility of each attendee. Members of record should be receiving invitations in April. Others wishing to pre-register should contact the MilWest Secretary listed below.
