Sweet pic.  Wisconsin is talking seriously about service up to Green Bay again.

Via which route?  There's not many left between Milwaukee and Green Bay.

Really nice picture - thanks for posting it?

Thanks Marty for a cool photo.  I grew up about 10 minutes from there.

Fifth car looks to me like the single-level diner with the elevated roofline to match the bilevel equipment.

And last car looks to me like the single-level tap-bar-lounge car, which also received the elevated roofline to match the bilevel equipment.

I thought one of these two cars usually ran on the Flambeau 400 between Chicago and Green Bay, while the other ran on the Peninsula 400.  

Anybody know why both would be on number 214 this day?

What speed would this train have been running here ?  A fine action shot. Thanks for posting this one.
