A Golden Arrow Lines excursion on the Central Wisconsin Railroad route between Waukesha and North Prairie is passing a small grain elevator off Main Street east of Genesee Depot in August 1984. It is passing some stored former Milwaukee Road Fairbanks-Morse H12-44 locomotives from the CWRC operation, that will later be scrapped. This line became part of Wisconsin & Calumet (WICT) the next year, and will later be part of the Wisconsin & Southern.
Glenn Monhart’s classy purple and silver Atlantic Coast Line EMD E3 No. 501 is powering the westbound train. He also owned and painted a former Rio Grande F7 in the same matching colors for Charleston & Western Carolina, to operate with his E3. Today, No. 501 is home again, owned by the North Carolina Dept. of Transportation Rail Division, and is on long term loan to the North Carolina Transportation Museum, in Spencer, North Carolina.
