WGNS 423 or WGN 423, WGNS 32 Apostle Isle (buffet/diner), and WGNS 112 Richard F. Gilberg (bar/club car) parked on former C&NW rails along Hwy. 53 at Town of Trego, Washburn Co., WI on 23 Jun. '16. The F7A was built in Oct. '49 as CNW 4076A. WGNS 32 was built in 1918 by ACF (some references state Pullman) as D&IR 32 (coach). Converted to DMIR W-32. Sold to WGNS and converted to a buffet/diner. Some references state it was built in 1918 by Pullman for D&NM. WGN did have it numbered D&NM 32 Apostle Isle in the past. WGNS 112 was built in 1911 by ACF for DM&N 112 (mail/express/baggage). Converted to DM&IR W-112. Sold to WGNS and converted to bar/club car. Trego was originally Superior Junction, it was renamed Mills on 2 Feb. '04, and assumed its current moniker on 6 Apr. '06. Not too bad for a surprise "spray-and-pray" shot from the passenger seat at 70 mph. |
