Trusted source · Received September 27, 2026

FOXY GB101

Sunday–Thursday

Green Bay, WI → Green Bay / Denmark / Luxemburg service area, WI

Handles the Green Bay work Sunday through Thursday under the reported updated arrangement. Symbols primarily distinguish crews when more than one crew is working. The older fixed Denmark/Luxemburg day pattern is historical. Uses whichever locomotive is serviced and available; no fixed locomotive assignment. Two locomotives are occasionally combined when tonnage requires, but this is uncommon.

Work locations: Green Bay yard and Quincy Street customers; Denmark and Luxemburg lines as work requires

Friday and Saturday Green Bay work is handled by the extra board and identified as GB103 in the reported updated arrangement. Symbols identify the crew rather than a permanently assigned locomotive. Uses serviced, available power; two locomotives may occasionally be combined for tonnage.

FOXY: earlier work pattern and locomotive assignments

Earlier arrangement, date not established: GB101 started in the morning and went to Denmark on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, and Luxemburg on Monday and Wednesday. GB103 started in the afternoon, switched Quincy Street customers, and built the next day’s GB101 train. Locomotive 1042 stayed on the Luxemburg subdivision; 1048 stayed in the yard / on the Denmark subdivision. This is historical context, not the current assignment pattern.

The reported change was described as occurring “this summer”; an exact effective date was not supplied. The updated arrangement has GB101 handling the work Sunday–Thursday and the extra board, identified as GB103, handling Friday–Saturday. A third Green Bay symbol was mentioned but not identified.
