IC 9601 and EJE 703
Title:  IC 9601 and EJE 703
Description:  A CN local traverses the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 9 Aug. '20. Local was headed for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna. The new concrete railroad ties beyond the lead locomotive are stacked next to the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. The masonry depot was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened. The north leg of the wye is partially visible in the middle of the scene.

Title:  IC 9601 and EJE 703
Description:  A CN local traverses the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 9 Aug. '20. Local was headed for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna with at least 49 cars. The historic Neenah Stove Works, currently occupied by Hafemeister Machine Corp., 635 Main St., and International Children's Fund, 619 Main St., is partially visible through the trees. The oldest part of the facility dates to 1857, when the Moore & Wells foundry was established. The train is nearing the turnout for the north leg of the wye.

IC 9601 and EJE 703
Title:  IC 9601 and EJE 703
Description:  IC 9601 and EJE 703 work the north end of the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI, on 15 Aug. '20. This view would have been prevented by the dominating silhouette of the original Neenah Foundry facility, later known as Plant 1, which stood here for over ¾’s of a century. Established in 1872 as Aylward Plow Works (a.k.a. Aylward & Sons) at 120 N. Lake St., they erected a new foundry at 500 W. Winneconne Ave. in 1918 “in a rural area of southwestern Neenah.” The name of Neenah Foundry was adopted in 1922. Expanded numerous times over the years, it became Plant 1 in 1960 when Plant 2 was constructed in the then rural area at the intersection of Byrd Ave. and the aptly named Aylward St. (followed by Plant 3 in 1967). Plant 1 was closed in 1994, it stood abandoned for a while and was eventually demolished.

IC 9601
Title:  IC 9601
Description:  A CN local heads southwest via former SOO rails at Shawano Junction, Fox Crossing, Winnebago Co., WI (formerly Town of Menasha, Winnebago Co., WI, from 1855 until 14 Apr. 2016) on 23 Aug. '20. This spot used to be named Fox River Junction, after several segments of the original C&NW main line through Menasha and Neenah were removed and a turnout was installed here which allows the bypass of missing C&NW rails by using former SOO rails. The local is transitioning from the former C&NW rails. The telephone pole beyond the nose of the locomotive stands along an abandoned portion of the C&NW right-of-way. To the right you can see some brand new signals. The installation commenced ca. 25 Apr. and was completed ca. 3 Jul. The new signals were activated and the old signals removed between 10 and 22 Aug. To the left, a shiny, new, modern signal relay case stands where an awesome, old one once stood.

Title:  IC 3115 and IC 9601
Description:  A CN local crosses Stroebe Rd. as it heads northeast via former SOO rails with 6 cars at Stroebe, WI, on 31 Oct. '20. Stroebe is a railroad station in Fox Crossing, WI (formerly Town of Menasha, Winnebago Co., WI, from 1855 until 14 Apr. 2016). The former C&NW rails are in the foreground. The Great Northern Corp. facility is partially visible in the background. They have a spur, but have not received rail service for quite a while. In fact, the turnout connecting their spur to the main line was torn out earlier this year.

IC 9601
Title:  IC 9601
Description:  A CN local rests on former C&NW rails at the Hwy. G overpass at Snells, WI, on 9 Apr. '22. Snells, formerly known as Snell’s Station or Snell’s Crossing, is now little more than a map dot in the Town of Neenah, Winnebago Co. This small, rural community once included a post office, depot, cheese factory, sawmill, school, and stockyard. It does not look like any real remnants of the original community remain. Even the station sign, erected after the depot was removed, is gone. The former SOO rails, also in use by CN, run parallel on this side of the train.

IC 9601 and IC 9566
Title:  IC 9601 and IC 9566
Description:  A CN local crosses the Fox River Navigation Canal via the former C&NW swing bridge at Kaukauna, WI, on 24 Apr. '22. Kaukauna Lock 2, historically Lock No. 6, counting from Green Bay, is partially visible to the right. The Warren pony truss bridge was built in 1893, according to http://bridgehunter.com (another reference states 1901). The Ahlstrom-Munksjö NA Specialty Solutions, LLC, Thilmany Mill looms in the background. Founded as the American Pulp & Paper Co. in 1883, it became Thilmany Pulp & Paper Co. (a.k.a. Thilmany, LLC or Thilmany Papers) in 1889, after Oscar Thilmany bought out his partners. It became Expera Specialty Solutions on 26 Jun. 2013, after KPS Capital Partners, LP, acquired it and Wausau Specialty Papers. It was acquired by Finland’s Ahlstrom-Munksjö on 10 Oct. ’18. The rehabilitation of the Kaukauna locks was completed in '15. The bridge was also rehabilitated in order to swing again. This view of the bridge was previously off limits. I wasn't sure if I was permitted to be here or not. I had heard that this was going to become a public recreation trail, but I don't know if it is officially open to the public yet. The fence gates have been removed, and I saw other people passing through, so I took that as a sign that the public was welcome.

IC 9601 and IC 9566
Title:  IC 9601 and IC 9566
Description:  A CN local crosses Thilmany Rd. as it prepares to service the Ahlstrom-Munksjö NA Specialty Solutions, LLC, Thilmany Mill (out-of-frame to the right) via former C&NW rails at Kaukauna, WI, on 24 Apr. '22. The train is crossing the new, rerouted portion of Thilmany Rd. and the locomotive is about to cross what was the original route of Thilmany Rd. It appears that the remnants of Stribley Rd. and Thilmany Rd. will now just be referred to as the latter (at least there are not any street signs to indicate otherwise). Portions of both roads were altered or removed during the destruction of the majority of the original Thilmany complex and simultaneous restoration of the oldest part of that facility (the Eagle Paper & Flouring Mill) in 2013 (behind me to the left).
