A rare color photo of steam power on the Green Bay Route.

Green Bay & Western #251 leads a southbound freight near Sawyer, Wis. in this undated photo from the collection of the Door County Historical Museum.

Although #251 was never an Ahnapee & Western engine, it appears to have been the regular power assigned to trains on the A&W in the 1930's.  Some other 2-6-0 moguls and occasionally a 2-8-0 consolidation appear in photos from this era, but photo of this engine literally outnumbers the others by a ratio of five to one.

The weeds growing between the rails are a testament to the deferred maintenance that the branch line to Sturgeon Bay saw by the time of the Great Depression.  Mogul #251 was scrapped in 1941.
