Nostalgia & History > Alco's across WisconsinDate: 10/14/17 11:00 Alco's across Wisconsin Author: thebluecomet Passed through Wisconsin back in the fall of 1992. The Green Bay & Western was still running with their all Alco fleet.
#1. 314 leads a short eastbound through Plover, WI. October 19, 1992. #2 & #3. 313 and company work at Merrillan. The C&NW crossing is in the distance. October 17, 1992. Edited 1 time(s).

The C&NW was a significant presence here.
#4. GB&W 321works their yard. #5. 4243 parked in front of the yard office. #6. 4247 and others sitting just off the turntable. All September 15, 1984.    Date: 10/14/17 11:11 Re: Alco's across Wisconsin Author: thebluecomet By this time the former N&W high hood C628's had been largely retired. Several sat out their last days here.
#7. 6722 still looks decent. #8. 6726 along with several other now out-of-service units. #9. 4250 is a modelers kit-bash in 1:1 scale. Should we call this a RS311? All September 15, 1984.    Date: 10/14/17 11:15 Re: Alco's across Wisconsin Author: thebluecomet I'll end this post properly.
