Anaconda Copper Mining Company No. 5

Anaconda Copper Mining Company No. 5 is a three truck Shay, this locomotive was built by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1923 for the Anaconda Copper Mining Company in Bonner, MT, as #5 where it spent most of its life hauling log trains.
Two years later, it was out of service with its square shafts removed, and it’s not clear whether it went back into service for Anaconda Mining.
In 1962, it was sold to the railfan Jack Hoover of Greenough, MT, and went on display at the Mehmke Steam Museum in Fife, MT. In 2005, it was bought by the Arizona State Railroad Museum and underwent cosmetic restoration at the Grand Canyon Railway shops in Williams, AZ.
In March 2007, it went on display at the Grand Canyon Railway Depot in Williams lettered for the Saganaw & Manistee Lumber Company that used to operate out of Williams (the only Shay to operate for the Manistee Lumber has not survived).
Today the locomotive is on Outdoor Static Display at the Arizona State Railroad Museum in Williams, Arizona.
