The Ahnapee & Western hired the GB&W to upgrade the line from Algoma to Casco Junction in anticipation of selling its locomotives and consummating a 'train rental' agreement with the GB&W. A full gondola of tie plates (there were none on the old A&W) , at least 14 new switch stands (for mainline switches only), and much ballast was put down during 1972. |
| Caboose #609 soon after rebuilding with bay windows in 1940.
This photo was taken right after rebuilding. This caboose shows the typical arrangement after rebuilding - the added bay window was offset from center of the car side, a standard GREEN BAY ROUTE herald below the bay window, and "GB&W" and the car number in white gothic lettering on the long half of the car side. The cabooses were painted red with gray window sashes; handrails were painted yellow in the late 1940s. The caboose remained in service on the GB&W until the late 1960s.
