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.

  Railroad Day in 1894, in Trains, September 1949, p. 27.
Old-time photos from the collection of A.T. Scofield. Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, was a bustling community long before the coming of the Ahnapee & Western, for the county seat of Door county was already a busy port. Yet the residents of the fishing and summer resort community knew that the railroad would open new markets for their fish and fruit and bring in new tourists as well. So when the railhead finally reached Sturgeon Bay on August 9, 1894, the whole town celebrated. Business houses closed their doors while the big Railroad Day Parade passed down the street in the wake of the village band. A two page photo article with 4 B&W pictures. 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.

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.

Gruber, John. A Death in the Family, in Trains, May 1994
The Green Bay & Western was an industrious 250-mile Wiscosin railroad which since 1873 has connected Kewaunee on Lake Michigan and East Winona on the Mississippi River via Green Bay and Wisconsin Rapids. The Green Bay & Western ceased to exist at 12:01 a.m. August 28, 1993, with its sale to Fox Valley & Western, a new Wisconsin Central Ltd, subsidiary, took effect. Right up until the time it died, the BG&W continued many time-honored practices - dependable freight service, good track maintenance, self-contained shops, Alco locomotives and, most of all, family traditions. The fifteen color photographs in this six page article is a tribute to the people who kept the railroad going in all kinds of weather and at all hours of the day and night.
