Class C-6 (748-803) 4-4-0 Standard. Total built 56. Portland Locomotive Works, 1883.


The 760 and other C-6 Standards were used on a unique train called the "Copper City Limited" which ran between Butte and Hamilton, Montana in the early 1900s. It is said this train was scheduled for the accommodation of the Butte copper magnates who also had extensive interests at Hamilton. The picture was made at Missoula in 1902, shortly after the Chinese brick station was completed.
