| Description: |
CN through freight approaches E. Snell Rd. and passes a halted through freight as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Oshkosh, WI on 23 Jul. '17. The moving train had 2 locomotives, CN 2653 and CN 8940, and the halted train had at least five locomotives, including CN 2118, CN 2199, CN 2340. I was standing at what used to be the former C&NW grade crossing. The border between the City of Oshkosh and the Town of Oshkosh is quite convoluted in this area. The land to the left of the active rails in front of me and the land on both sides of the active rails behind me is the Town of Oshkosh, but the land to the right of the active rails in front of me is the City of Oshkosh. Go about 400' behind me and the land on both sides of the active rails is the City of Oshkosh. |

CN 8940, et al. |
| Description: |
A CN through freight crosses E. 14th Ave. and passes the remnants of the former C&NW yard as it heads northeast at Oshkosh, WI on 18 Jun. '18. Train had six locomotives, CN 8940, CN 2446, CN 2335, CN 5798, CSX 7811, GECX 9xxx. A cut of cars rests by the depot/yard office. I was thrilled to find these cars here, because I thought it meant the local had made a daylight run (the Oshkosh local seems to usually be a nocturnal run). I waited for quite a while, but didn't see or hear any other signs of the local's presence. The depot/yard office sits at the approximate location of the C&NW's South Oshkosh depot, a smaller, plainer structure than their once ornate Oshkosh depot which still stands less than a mile to the north. Historically, everything south of the Fox River was once known as South Oshkosh. The C&NW South Oshkosh depot was saved from demolition, but its current fate is unknown to me. I have seen post-relocation photographs of it on the internet, but they do not reveal its precise location. Some references state it was moved to downtown Oshkosh, others state it was moved to a park in Oshkosh. If it still survives, I have not found it yet. Most of the yard was torn up in Aug. '16; they did leave the passing siding and team track. |

| Description: |
A CN unit train of tank cars parallels Harrison St. and passes Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 30 Nov. '18. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about a mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished. A remnant of the former C&NW main line runs parallel on the other side of the train. |
