GBW 614 (1964)
#608 (1969.06.06)

  
Did you know...

In January 1903 three carloads of ice were shipped from Sturgeon Bay to Casco... (you'd think Casco would know how to make their own ice!)

GBW #608 at Green Bay, June 6, 1969. This is the last known photo of this caboose.


This caboose (#08) had bay windows added in the late 1930s, then was converted to transfer caboose (X-08) in April 1949. Finally it was reconstructed as a road caboose (#608) in February 1954.  Instead of completely going to scrap, photos indicate that the frame of this caboose was used for the "new" steel caboose (#608) built later in 1969.
