GreenBay, Wisconsin, 25JAN'71
GB&W RS2 (303) with another Alco switcher - Nekoosa Paper? - at Norwood Shop. I knew nothing about Nekoosa Paper back then, and not much more about the Green Bay & Western, except that it was an interesting little railroad about 180 mies from where I grew up. My first Christmas/New Years holiday from college (where an "interem semester" was optional) gave me an opportunity to work at a bookstore, AND take Mom's car for a quick spin in the land of Cheddarheads before returning to Oklahoma and the groves of academe. Now I know that GB&W sold some of their Alco switchers to the paper company in Wisconsin Rapids, so I suppose that explains the blue and yellow switcher.
