GB&W section crew at Scandinavia.
This photo come from a 1987 calendar/postcard. It shows a turn-of-the
century section crew at Scandinavia, photo by H.C. Benke.
At the time of the photo, the Iola & Northern interchanged with the
GB&W at Scandinavia. In a few years the Waupaca - Green Bay
Railroad would build to the south from the same location, making this a busy
junction on the railroad.
What a great photo! Seven men on two handcars -- these are the people
who kept the Green Bay Route running from day to day.
In the background you can see the water tower and depot.
H.C. Benke photo, ca. 1900
