Some general information on the images that follow...
In the photos of the trains on the Ahnapee & Western with engine 316
and the Kewaunee train with the 318, the engineer is Walther Hintz.
I can’t tell who the head brakeman is but the regular crew at
that time was engineer Hintz, conductor Vince Oettinger,and
brakemen Ed Bowden and Dick Jobelius. (Dan Luedke)

Rockledge Road on the A&W just east of the Kewaunee River bridge - train is eastbound crossing the road. (AL)

Casco from the Highway 54 "Overhead." That is the Casco Cheese millpond in the background that my dad
used to play in...the cheese factory is visible through the trees at top right. This is the first image
I have seen from this vantage point, and I never understood why others didn't utilize it. GREAT VIEW!
And those gons are carrying steel for use in the 1,000-foot lake boats being built at Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay. (AL)

Picture 3 brick farm house I believe on Ahnapee & Western between Casco and Algoma, Wis.
Train is headed to or from Algoma, Wis. Andy Laurant might know for sure Bill. (Dan Luedke)
Photo 3 appears to be an eastbound train about to cross Train Road near Rio Creek, with the
photographer facing southeast from right here. Everything works...track/road geometry, sun angle,
house shape/rooflines, etc. Quick check of E3931 Train Road shows a "Jensen" at that address,
so even the name on the wall checks out. Looks like late 70s...lots of gondolas full of plate
steel going to Bay Shipbuilding in Sturgeon Bay via transload at Rankin for construction of the
1,000-footers. (Andy Laurant)

Picture 4 is Casco, Wis. on Ahnapee & Western, train is either the day Kewaunee job or an
Extra out of GB headed to or from Algoma, Wis. Same train as above. (Dan Luedke)
Since I scanned more and put the images in order, we know can see
that this is indeed the same train headed back to Green Bay. (RTK)
Definitely at Casco. The train is westbound right here. My dad loaded cheese out of the basement
storage rooms into WRX reefers on that dock! (so did my uncles) The conveyor up from the basement
came out of that small opening just behind those leaning pallets. (Andy Laurant)

the road in 1965. It sits at Norwood Yard, Green Bay, Wisconsin. (RTK)
