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 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.

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.
