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.

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.

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
