Riverside Yard: (Satellite, the railyard is gone)

Main Yard: (Satellite, it appears that all but the engine servicing facility is intact)

Roundhouse: (3D Satellite)

Concrete Grain Elevator: (Satellite, long gone)

Wood Grain Elevator: (Satellite, not only is the grain elevator gone, but so is a power plant.)

The C&NW depots are documented here.

Note the concrete grain elevator along the river as well as the C&NW railyard behind it.

#ThrowbackThursday to 1965 when three ships were docked in the Port of Green Bay.
That’s the S.S. South American on the east bank at the Hurlbut dock. On the west bank are the Orient Liner from Greece and the Luka Botic from Yugoslavia at Leicht's Storage.
Greg Ives: Don’t forget the C&NW 400 at the train station! A lot of stuff in this photo!
Bill Dean: S.S. South American hit the railroad bridge leaving.

And before the concrete elevator was lost, an old wood elevator was lost.

Here's a sharp, hand-colored Green Bay post card from about 1910. It's one of the less common Green Bay nautical views and shows five different steam vessels.

I believe the steamer on the left is the old Green Bay line passenger steamer Fannie C. Hart, although the name isn't as clear as I'd like. The tug is definitely big work tug Mae Martel, which was abandoned at Milwaukee in 1915.

Wondering if anyone can name the little white excursion steamer on the right. I can almost make out the line emblem on her hull. Perhaps she's the Sailor Boy or another Hart Transportation Co. steamer?

UPDATE: Thanks to Rob Cioletti who identified the steamer on the right as the Nau Tug Line steamer W.S. Taylor. See: https://greatlakeships.org/2898949/data?n=32

Dennis DeBruler: I also like the old wood grain elevator. It has a large smokestack because it would have originally been steam driven.

Topo maps allowed me to locate where the yard in the first photo was along the river. While looking for which railroad owned it, I noticed that C&NW had an even larger yard.

Someone wanted to see a photo of the C&NW roundhouse facility at North Green Bay. Here, from the Richard Smits collection, is such a photo. Our C&NW Historical Society holds, thanks (very much) to Mr. Smits, a fairly comprehensive collection of North Green Bay roundhouse photos.

Post #3 The Flambeau 400 #216 & #153 on July 7, 1969

C&NW Train #153 the north bound Flambeau 400 has arrived at the Green Bay, Wisconsin station.  The power was cut off and moved out of the way.  The station switcher, FM H10-44 #1049, pulled a coach and a diner off the north bound next to the station and was seen here shoving them onto the back of the south bound #216.  This operation was a very efficient move.  No photographer listed.  John Harker photo editing and collection

Pauly Zee: I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen an end cab F-M in CNW livery. And I have seen plenty of offset cab CNW F-M road-switchers.

With the advent of outdoor eating because of Covid-19, I'll bet they were glad that they kept the platform and its canopy.
