KGBW 2-8-0 #49 - Kewaunee, Green Bay & Western |
| Description: |
This sharp looking 2-8-0 Consolidation type steam locomotive was built by Alco-Schenectady in march of 1929 as Kewaunee, Green Bay & Western #49. It was renumbered in 1936 to KGBW 350. In 1950, the loco was sold to the Consolidated Water Power & Paper Co in Wisconsin Rapids. In 1955, it was put on display there. In 1981, it was donated to the Mid-Continent Rwy Museum where it received a cosmetic restoration and paint job for display. The loco is the only surviving loco from the Green Bay Route. This is a color slide by rail fan Jim Lockart and now resides in my collection. |

D&R #9 is on the opposite end of the museum from where it was a year ago, and its smokestack is now missing! KGB&W #49 is still missing its bell and headlight. |

KGBW 49 with its headlight back in place but much faded from its 2006 repaint |
| Description: |
This Consolidation is the only surviving example of Green Bay & Western system steam power. That railroad became better known among railfans in the diesel era for exclusively rostering ALCo units up until its merger with Wisconsin Central LTD in the early '90s, even after the builder ceased to exist and parts became hard to come by. |

Kewaunee, Green Bay, & Western 49 |
| Description: |
Built in 1929. One of my favorites, because I've actually been to Kewaunee! This engine never ran at the museum; it was in a park in Wisconsin Rapids before being donated to the museum in 1981. |
