CN 3029, CN 2856
Title:  CN 3029, CN 2856
Description:  A CN through freight parallels Broad St. as it rounds a slight curve and approaches Waugoo Ave. while headed southwest via former C&NW rails at Oshkosh, WI on 24 Dec. '16. Train had three locomotives, CN 3029, CN 2856, ?? 2982. The former C&NW depot is partially visible background left. Built by the Chicago firm of Clark & Fuller in 1884 on Broad St. between Washington Ave. and Merritt Ave. at a cost $15,000, it opened on 1 Dec. ’84. The last passenger train, the Peninsula “400,” departed on 31 Jun. ’71. Currently used by Clarity Care. I was hoping to get a full view of the south end of the depot in the shot, but the camera’s automatic focus feature did not do its job at the exact moment I hoped it would.

CN 2856
Title:  CN 2856
Description:  A CN container train hugs the western shore of Lake Winnebago as it heads north via former C&NW rails at Oshkosh, WI on 24 Feb. '18. Several ice fishing shanties can be seen out on the lake. I had hoped to capture a similar scene a week or two earlier, when there was much more activity on the ice, due to the sturgeon spearing season (the railroad did not cooperate). Train had two locomotives, CN 2856 pulling and CN 2987 pushing.

CN 3809, CN 2856, CN 3118
Title:  CN 3809, CN 2856, CN 3118
Description:  A CN through freight slowly approaches N. Lake St. as it pulls out to head northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI, on 18 Apr. '20. I am intrigued by the interesting weathering on the lower front of the lead locomotive. A nice, sunny day often brings a few railfans to this grade crossing. A young, enthusiastic railfan records the action with his cellular telephone. The youngster's hand is going up to wave to the train crew, and the conductor is sliding his window open to return the wave. Herb and Dolly Smith Park lies beyond the fence at left.
