Green Bay & Western railfanning at the Titletown Train Show in Green Bay,
Wis.
The Titletown Train Show was held on
April 27-28, 2013. I got to do a little train watching while at the show,
and here is some of the GREEN BAY ROUTE
equipment I saw:

NorthEastern Wisconsin Exhibition Railroading
NEWER is an HO scale
modular group based in Green Bay and displays their layout at shows
around Wisconsin.
An Alco C-424 (#314) and an RS-3 (#305) poke their noses out of the
doors of the NEWER roundhouse. They wear the railroad's
red-and-gray paint scheme of the 1950s and 60s.
A load of coal in a Kewaunee, Green Bay & Western hopper at
the engine service facilities. This is an Atlas model.
The GBW's business car #600, the ROAMER, was spotted on a
track on the edge of the yard.
A pair of FA-1 cab units sit next to the engine house. The arrival
of these locomotives in 1947-49 ushered in diesel power on mainline
trains and spelled the end of steam power on the GB&W. These are Walthers
models.
Well-maintained track is key to smooth operations — Here are three
Difco side dump cars and a one-bay ballast hopper used for that purpose.
It's time to get the rerailing frog out however... GBW #132 and #135 are
off the track! These are painted and decaled Walthers
models.
A pair of KGB&W single-sheathed boxcars pass by in a
train. These Accurail cars
were special runs produced for Trainfest
2007.
A load of lumber can be seen through the open door of this Kadee
PS-1 boxcar.
A&W #3004 refrigerator car (Accurail
custom run for the GBWHS) and GBW
#112005 GAEX boxcar (MDC Roundhouse)
in the yard module.
KGB&W offset side hopper (Atlas model)
with a full load of coal.
