Welcome to the GBW History
page.
This is where you will find all the information you ever wanted to know
about the Green Bay & Western Railroad. If you have anything
you think should be added or something that you think is incorrect,
feel free to email
me with that information.
The information you will find here is
gathered from many sources, not the least of which is the book 'Green
Bay & Western'
by Stan Mailer. This book is still available at many hobby shops
and
book sellers online.
