IC 9623 |
| Description: |
CN local services Graymont via former C&NW rails at Green Bay, WI on 18 Feb. '17. Formerly Western Lime Corp., this facility has been here since at least 1910 and produces high calcium pebble and hydrated lime. The Canadian company Graymont Ltd. acquired Western Lime Corp. ca. 30 Mar. '12. Some references refer to this facility as Graymont Western Lime. The Western Lime and Cement Co. merged with the Nast Bros. Lime & Stone Co., Union Lime Co., and Empire Lime Co. in 1921. They continued to operate as the Western Lime and Cement Co. until the name was changed to Western Lime Corp. at some point. |

IC 9623 |
| Description: |
CN local returns to the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 17 Sep. '17. 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, the corporate overlords didn’t want to spend any money to update the plant. It stood abandoned for a while and was eventually demolished. Part of the fence on this side of the tracks has been temporarily removed, and some turnouts rest on the ground, either old turnouts which were recently replaced, or new turnouts about to be installed. |

| Description: |
CN local backs across River St. as it services Coveris (formerly Exopack), 271 River St., via a remnant of the former C&NW main line at Menasha, WI on 24 Sep. '17. The building at left is the neat, old office of the idled Whiting Paper Co., 100 River St. The paper machines were shut down on 30 Mar. '16 after 134 years of providing quality paper products and living-wage jobs. Originally the Whiting and Gilbert paper mill, it was built along the Fox River Navigation Canal on the site of an abandoned dry dock in 1882 (1881). The company was a partnership of George A. Whiting and Theodore and William Gilbert. It became the George A. Whiting Paper Mills in ‘86, after he bought out the Gilbert brothers. The name was changed to George A. Whiting Paper Co. in ‘11. Much of the current facility was built after a devastating fire and explosion on 24 Aug. 1888. In Mar. '14, the 5th generation of the Whiting family sold the company to Tom Danz, who joined the company in 1999; the name was changed to Whiting Paper Co. When the closure was announced, he claimed the company could not maintain the sales volume needed to remain profitable. The mill produced matte board, scrapbooking and high-end art paper, and its unique Kona Paper, made from recycled burlap coffee bean bags. The George A. Whiting Airport, at the intersection of Airport Rd. and Appleton Rd. in Menasha, WI, was named in his honor because he donated $5,000 to construct the facility ca. the '20s. Reportedly, it was "Wisconsin’s finest and busiest airport" in the '30s. When the government decreed that there could be only 1 airmail port per county, they chose the airfield at Oshkosh, WI and the George A. Whiting Airport soon faded into history (except for the hanger, currently home to Kitz & Pfeil True Value Hardware). |

Locals have to complete some interesting maneuvers to service industries on this small island as well as the adjacent Doty Island since most of the former C&NW rails were pulled up in Neenah and Menasha. |
