Green Bay Western Action, Part One
I recently scanned a few slides I made along this charming regional road, the Green Bay and Western. This railroad operated for nearly 100 years, from 1896 to 1993, until it was gobbled up by the Wisconsin Central. Looking today via Google Maps, it seems that most, if not nearly all, of the rails have been abandoned.
I had to ask for help to get locations on these shots—and received it from Dan Luedke, a conductor on the road. The first picture was made at Oneida, Wisconsin, at milepost 10, while the second was taken one mile west of Seymour, at MP 18.
Two images by Richard Koenig; taken April 22nd 1978.
