IC 9562 and GTW 5854
Title:  IC 9562 and GTW 5854
Description:  CN local crawls onto the former C&NW bridge over the Fox River as it services Expera Specialty Solutions (out of frame to left) at Kaukauna, WI on 11 Aug. '15. Bridge was built by American Bridge Co. of New York in 1911. The rails used to run past the red flag at the end of the bridge to the C&NW's Kaukauna yard, shops and round house. A line also branched off to go to Manitowoc. From its founding in 1883 until 26 Jun. '13, the Kaukauna paper mill was Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co. (a.k.a. Thilmany, LLC or Thilmany Papers). The rubble behind the snow fence is remnants of the old Thilmany mill, which was mostly demolished in 2013. Part of the original mill was saved and will be restored.

IC 9562 and GTW 5854
Title:  IC 9562 and GTW 5854
Description:  CN local parallels Thilmany Rd. and the Fox River as it services Expera Specialty Solutions (out of frame to left) via former C&NW rails at Kaukauna, WI on 11 Aug. '15. From its founding in 1883 until 26 Jun. '13, the Kaukauna paper mill was Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co. (a.k.a. Thilmany, LLC or Thilmany Papers). The piles of rubble are remnants of the old Thilmany mill, which was mostly demolished in 2013. Part of the original mill was saved and will be restored (out of frame to right).

GTW 5854
Title:  GTW 5854
Description:  CN local crosses the former C&NW swing bridge over the Fox River Navigation Canal at Kaukauna, WI on 11 Aug. '15. The Warren pony truss bridge was built in 1893, according to http://bridgehunter.com. I suspect the metal components in the foreground might be for repairs to the bridge. The rehabilitation of the Kaukauna locks is nearly complete and they are scheduled to reopen in a couple of weeks (they haven't been opened since 1984), which means the bridge will need to swing again. The local has just finished servicing Expera Specialty Solutions, originally Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co., and must now ascend a significant grade back up to the main line.
