What's special about these pictures of #10 is that
most of you have probably unknowingly seen this unit in person, since in
fake-C&NW paint job it's now on display next to the depot restaurant at
Milton Junction. After retirement from MN&S, #10 was purchased by the
Central Wisconsin railroad (predecessor to the Wisconsin Calumet) and was added
to their collection of ex-Milwaukee Fairbanks-Morse switchers which were their
sole motive power. With the unexpected death of the Central Wisconsin's
owner, the railroad went defunct and the state-owned track was subsequently
leased to the WICT, who came up with a number of GP9's for power. Central
Wisconsin's FM's were all sold or scrapped except for the two which are still on
display at Milton Junction and Brodhead. - Craig
