Description

After careful study by the images by Bob Janz "a description was determined for the photos time period. Since identifiable locations were along the Old Line to Milwaukee on the Wisconsin Division, it is safe to assume that the balance were also. All locomotives feature wooden pilots and air ringer bells. All rolling stock is wooden with truss rods; humps in car bodies clearly shown on some. Locomotives were equipped with oil burning headlights and class lights, some with steam hoses on pilots. Some cars have open platforms while others have vestibules. Some locomotives have graphited smokeboxes. This was applied by the fireman of each locomotive once a week. Firemen were required to report one hour early one day a week to apply the graphite. The practive was discontinued when the firemen's union demanded compensation for this extra work which was unpaid. "
