GTW 4934 and SOO 736 |
| Description: |
A CN local passes SOO 736 while traversing Telulah Park as it heads southwest via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI, on 5 Jul. '21. The local was returning from Kimberly and Combined Locks. SOO 736 was donated to the City by John Mason Balliet. He also paid for construction of a temporary spur off the branch line to get the locomotive into the park, as well as a fence erected later to deter vandals. The locomotive arrived on 14 Nov. '59. When asked why he did it, he said, "so that children would know what [a steam engine] looked like." He owned an insurance agency, but railroads were a hobby. He served as a director for Missouri Pacific, Michigan Central, Lake Erie & Eastern, and Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroads. |

GTW 4934 and IC 9566 |
| Description: |
A CN local crosses W. 2nd St. as it drops off some cars for the FV&LS (or FOXY) at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI, on 25 Sep. '20. The former Appleton Wood Products Co. factory, now part of the Miller Electric facility, is partially visible beyond that. Built in 1916, the walls include some nice, decorative brickwork (including cast or carved keystones depicting bowling pins above the windows), which Miller obscured with cheap metal siding at some point after they bought it ca. 1975. |
