June 2011: Trail to Black Creek; Caboose Info Things are pretty quiet on the GB&W since my last report. The trail from Green Bay does indeed end in Black Creek and has not crossed State Highway 47. I am a little disappointed in the condition of the trail though. When I inspected it last fall, there appears to be an insufficient amount of ballast laid down on the trail as you can see cracks on the trail bed where rain has washed small amounts of dirt away. Maybe someday they will upgrade it better as it becomes more popular with trail users. Other trails on the GB&W seem to be in good condition including the one from Amherst Junction that goes under Highway 10. And there is an update to the caboose roster for the GB&W. Caboose number 115 that I see countless times in the CN yard off Whitman Street in Appleton appears to be in its' new home. It gets moved in and out of the yard as they do track work and other projects in and around Appleton. - Jeff
