Historical Context
In 1909, a Helena, Montana trio initiated the Bear Creek & Western Railway, with its Montana Articles of Incorporation papers reading in part: ‘Its general route will be from the terminus of the Northern Pacific Railway Company’s road at Bridger, Carbon County; thence in a westerly and southerly direction through the town of Bear Creek and/or along the most practicable course to Cook City, Park County; with branches along practicable courses, and to all suitable termini in Park or Carbon Counties’.
Within two months, the Northern Pacific acquired this proposed route and began issuing BC&W stock out of their St Paul, Minnesota office.
The Bear Creek & Western, however, was to remain only a paper dream and twenty years later its charter expired.
