August 1993
Author: Stephen Borleske
These are scanned slides I took. The month began with the WSOR passenger train attending the EAA show. The Deutsche Bundesbahn ICE train toured the US including a stop in Milwaukee. I chased the Green Bay & Western railroad for the last time. On August 28, 1993 the Green Bay & Western Railroad and the Fox River Valley Railroad became the WC subsidiary Fox Valley & Western.
