Title:  CN 4100
Description:  CN local heads southwest past the south end of Little Lake Butte des Morts via the former joint MILW/SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 28 Jun. '15. This view is from the site of the former P. H. Glatfelter Co. paper mill, which stood here for 135 years. This is a plaza between an office building to the right and clinic to the left. This is the approximate location of the ca. 1871 WC (later SOO) depot which stood on the south (right) side of the tracks at the west end of Wisconsin Ave. It was built on pilings in the south end of Little Lake Butte des Morts, these tracks were originally on a trestle over the water. All of the earth under and to the left (north) of these rails is landfill, deposited in the south end of the lake by the paper mills starting in the 1950s. That former landfill is now Arrowhead Park. The depot was converted to a freight house when a new depot was constructed on Sherry St. in 1891. The depot that stood here was demolished or moved between 1906 and 1913.

CN 4100
Title:  CN 4100
Description:  CN local services the immense Verso Corp. paper mill at Wisconsin Rapids, WI on 4 Jul. '17. Incorporated as the Consolidated Water Power Co. on 16 July 1894; it was formed through the merger of 6 industries using the Grand Rapids of the Wisconsin River for water power. Intending to expand into paper making, the name was changed to Consolidated Water Power & Paper Co. in ‘02. The original part of the paper mill and an adjacent 2,000-ft. dam were completed in '04. Paper production commenced on 3 Jun. ’04, on “the world’s first electrically powered paper machines.” Decades of growth and expansion added mills at Biron, Appleton, Stevens Point, and Whiting, in WI, plus Port Arthur, Ontario, and other facilities. The name was changed to Consolidated Papers, Inc., in '62. Nearly 4 more decades of family-owned growth, expansion, and innovations to the paper manufacturing process followed, until it was sold to Stora Enso Oyj, Finland, in Aug. '00. In '07, Stora Enso sold six paper mills to Cerberus Capital Management LP, which created NewPage Holdings, Inc., Miamisburg, OH. Verso Paper Corp., Memphis, TN, acquired paper mills in Wisconsin Rapids, Stevens Point, Duluth, and Escanaba, from NewPage on 7 Jan. ’15. My dad helped design and install some Valmet machinery in this historic facility while it was still Consolidated Papers. I believe these are former MILW rails, but old maps suggest that the GB&W, SOO, and C&NW could have also served this facility.

'17. C&NW and SOO had parallel yards here, approximately 4 tracks each ca. 1973. Both roads used to cross the GB&W just out of frame to the right. A junction of the MILW and GB&W was close to where CN 4100 rests. This portion of Wisconsin Rapids, formerly Grand Rapids, was known as West Rapids, shortened to Westrap on some old maps and railroad documents. The over pass is 4th Ave. N./Hwy. 13/Hwy. 34.

Glatfelter moved the jobs to Ohio in June 2006, the mill stood idle for about two years until it was torn down (demolition was completed in May 2009).
