Image of ex-GB&W caboose 605 on the Copper Range Railroad following Baldwin #101 on the last train October 27, 1972. The caboose seems unchanged from her GBW days, except for the missing herald on the bay window and painted out GBW reporting marks. Probably a safe bet that this was the last day the caboose saw operation.

Photo caption: Engine No. 401, a class D-48 2-8-2, winds Green Bay & Western train No. 4 through the rolling hills at the Niagara Cuesta at Kewaunee, Wis. GB&W receives traffic from Ann Arbor and Chesapeake & Ohio ferries at Kewaunee and trundles it westward to connections with the Milwaukee Road, the Burlington, the Chicago & North Western and the Chicago Great Western at Winona on the Mississippi. Nearly 85 per cent of its traffic is received from connections. The lines serving the Northwest find GB&W a convenient means of bypassing Chicago with their eastbound movements.

  Brief on the Green Bay Route, in Trains, September 1949, p. 27.
Photo captions: Sturgeon Bay turned out en masse to greet the A&W on August 9, 1894. The steel gang was following close on the heels of the tie layers on the morning of June 30. The A&W was laid northward from Casco Junction, where it met the Kewaunee, Green Bay & Western. Today's A&W (Green Bay & Western, when this picture was taken) crosses the ship canal at Sturgeon Bay on piles and a swing bridge. A&W's original rails were laid smack on the ground without benefit ballast. This construction scene at Jacobs Grove is typical of the era.
