GTW 4911 |
| Description: |
CN local works in the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI on 28 Aug. '16. The facility in the background is currently home to Alliance Industries, 320 Appleton St., Menasha, WI, they apply powder coatings and manufacture sand cores. Founded at Waupaca, WI in 1979, they leased this facility in 2005. They later purchased the facility as well as the adjacent one at 313 Appleton St. The facility was home to Menasha Mill Supply Co. from at least 1939 through the 1970s, they primarily processed waste paper. It clearly used to receive rail service, but it does not seem to currently. The former MILW yard was located on the other (south) side of it; the building could be serviced by both railroads simultaneously. |

GTW 4911 and CN 9473 |
| Description: |
A CN local passes the Appvion, originally Appleton Papers, mill and crosses E. Wisconsin Ave. via the former C&NW bridge as it heads northeast through Appleton, WI on 17 Sep. '16. I am surprised that the FRVR sign remains. It has been damaged due to vandalism; the sign on the other side is in better shape. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna and had two locomotives, GTW 4911 and CN 9473. |

GTW 4911 and GTW 5856 |
| Description: |
CN local approaches N. State St. as it heads southwest via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 25 Sep. '16. Train was pulled by a pair of GTW locomotives, GTW 4911 and GTW 5856. This was a chance encounter, otherwise I would have attempted to obtain a better vantage point to capture this pair of locomotives in their original owner's paint scheme. If you happen to be an aficionado of topnotch liquor, beer, and wine, the parking lot of the historic Flanagan's Stop and Shop is on the opposite side of the train. |

GTW 4911 and GTW 6226 |
| Description: |
CN local crosses N. Lake St. as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 25 Nov. '16. Eggers Industries, a periodic rail customer, is partially visible behind the train. Founded at Neenah, WI, in 1910 as Hardwood Products Co., construction of the facility commenced in Oct. ’10. It was renamed Hardwood Products Corp. as a result of a merger with Mississippi Veneer & Lumber Co. on 20 Apr. ’22. Eggers Industries acquired Hardwood Products Corp. in 1965 and renamed it Eggers Hardwood Products Corp. Eggers was founded by Fred W. Eggers at Two Rivers, WI in 1884 to make wood baskets used by farmers. They later started making plywood and other wood veneer products. There used to be 3 spurs to service the facility, now there is only 1. |
