MofW Roster

[ Up ] [ GBW X106 ] [ KGB X190 ]

 
Maintenance-of-Way and other non-revenue equipment used by the Green Bay Route.

Bob Welke provided the genesis of the roster.  It has been supplemented with information in Official Railway Equipment Registers.

In the late 1940s, much of the railroad's modest passenger car fleetwas converted to M of W use.  In 1969 KGB equipment was reassigned to GBW. There was a general renumbering of the equipment in early 1980.
