| Description: |
CN local shoves past the Whiting Paper Co., 100 River St., Menasha, WI, on 28 Mar. '14. It was preparing to head back to the former SOO yard in Neenah after servicing several industries in the Twin Cities of Menasha and Neenah. Originally the Whiting and Gilbert Paper mill, it was built along the canal on the site of an abandoned dry dock in 1882 (1881). It became the George A. Whiting Paper Mills in 1886, after he bought out the Gilbert brothers (who then founded a new paper company with their father and another brother). The name was changed to George A. Whiting Paper Co. in 1911. Much of the current facility was built after a devastating fire and explosion on 24 Aug. 1888. The 5th generation of the Whiting family sold the company to an employee in Mar. '14. The name was changed to Whiting Paper Co. The mill produced matte board, scrapbooking paper, high-end art paper, and its unique Kona Paper, made from recycled burlap coffee bean bags. The paper machines were shut down on 30 Mar. '16, after 134 years of providing quality paper products. When the closure was announced, it was claimed the company could not maintain the sales volume needed to remain profitable, which seems to be the catch phrase of every 21st Century American corporation when they shut down any historic industrial facility. |

CN local pulls five cars over Black Creek via former SOO bridge as it heads south at Black Creek, WI on 22 May '14. Local was headed back to Neenah after servicing Shawano. Some old bridge piers can be seen in the middle of the photograph. I have always wondered if they supported a railroad bridge or a roadway bridge, if I had to guess, I suspect the latter. Thank you Richard, for letting me know there was a train headed for Shawano. |

| Description: |
A CN local approaches Hwy. O as it heads south via former SOO rails at Mackville Station, Town of Center, Outagamie Co., WI on 22 May ’14. Listed as Mackville Station on some old maps, distinguishing it from the community of Mackville which is 1-mile due east of here, it is listed as Mackville on some time tables. Some remnants of the depot’s foundation can be seen to the right of the base of the station sign. The station sign was stolen between 13 Jun. and 9 Jul. ’14, not long after I posted a photograph of it on this site. I presume it was stolen; I would think if the railroad had removed the sign they would have removed the posts as well. Both posts stood barren for quite a while. One of the posts still stands next to the track (as of Oct. ‘18), the other lies on the ground. Remnants of the former passing siding can be seen at right, it has been truncated at Hwy. O. What remains forms a spur which could be used to service Stainless Tubular Products (STP), partially visible to the right. It doesn’t appear to receive regular rail service at the moment. I do not know the history of the cool, old barn-like structure in the background, but it has a loading dock extending to the spur. Train was headed back to Neenah after working Shawano. |

| Description: |
A CN train passes the FV&LS (or FOXY), former CN, originally C&NW, depot after setting out cars at the yard at Appleton Junction, WI, on 29 Dec. '24. Train was headed for Kaukauna. There used to be a diamond right about where the locomotive is, from ca. 1874 until at least 1968, where the MLS&W crossed the C&NW. When the MLS&W was absorbed by the C&NW on 1 Sep. 1893, their line became the Ashland Div. of the C&NW. The white building partially visible in the background is the former home of the Harry H. Long Moving and Storage Co., 1001 S. Douglas St. This building dates to at least 1953, when it was listed in the local directory (it was not listed in ’51). The building has a spur, but it hasn’t been used for quite a while (except for occasional MoW equipment). They moved to a larger facility in Town of Clayton, Winnebago Co., WI in 2001. |
