GB&W Seymour, WI Depot
Title:  GB&W Seymour, WI Depot
Description:  West and south walls of GB&W depot at Milepost 17 along the Newton Blackmour State Trail in downtown Seymour, WI, on 17 Oct. '12. It was built ca. 1915 to replace an earlier depot built in 1883. It has been moved about 200' northeast of its original location to 209 Depot St., originally Railroad St. It currently houses the Seymour Model Railroad Club. The reefer is painted for GB&W/WRX as well as Seymour Canning Co. A photograph from ‘90s shows it in what looks to be original SRL paint scheme with road number SRLX 5156: http://www.flickr.com/photos/oetiii/8535852119/in/photostream/lightbox/. The Wikipedia listing about the National Railroad Museum states SRLX 5156 is displayed there. I did not see it there during my most recent visit. Unfortunately the National Railroad Museum’s own website offers next-to-zero information about its rolling stock.
