Locomotive rosters for all Green Bay Route lines.

These rosters are based primarily on information in The Story of the Green Bay and Western (Sprecht & Sprecht, 1966) and Green Bay & Western (Mailer, 1989).  There are some conflicts in information between the sources, especially in the fleet in the pre-GB&W years before 1896.
