The page on the St. Paul Coal Docks states that area is still used as a coal dock today by the C. Reiss Coal Company. The St. Paul Coal Docks were on the east side of the river south of Mason Street. They ceased operations in the 1920s.

I watched Colonel Caboose every morning. He had a game for audience. He revealed characters and the first to get the puzzle won. I won twice. Revealed a sunrise with rooster, a bed, same sun and chicken and followed with dollar sign, and mortar board I correctly guessed, "early to bed, early to rise" etc. I won a Betsy McCall doll with trunk and clothes..2nd win was so strange but I happened to know because of a swimming show routine from the Y. "Santa Catalina is waiting for me". I won a Winkey Dink game with that. Truly one of my greatest memories. I loved him. The blind sisters singing and playing piano also. Loved them too.

Member of the organizing committee for the sesquicentennial of Whitehall, Wis., which was established in 1874 after what was then the Green Bay & Pepin laid its tracks just south of the Trempealeau River in the town of Lincoln, Trempealeau County. The Green Bay and Western was otherwise very important in the development of Whitehall, which became the Trempealeau County seat less than a decade after it was established.
Interested in the history of the GB&W in its early days.

Admin reply: I recommend checking out the book "Green Bay & Western (Stan Mailer, Hundman Publishing, 1989). It has a thorough coverage of the railroad's early history. I did an on-line search, and copies of the book are available at the Arcadia, Black River Falls, and La Crosse libraries.

First learnt about the Green Bay & Western after purchasing the Pentrex DVD on a whim. Norwood Yard diagram that you published now explains much of the footage on that Pentrex program... Many thanks sir
