It was passing a CN local that was waiting to head to Appleton and points beyond, but the photos of the meet didn't turn out well.

CN 9673
Title:  CN 9673
Description:  CN local passes the historic Atlas Paper Co. mill on the north bank of the Fox River and begins to ascend the grade out of the Flats as it heads back to the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI with 27 cars on 2 Jul. ‘14. Train had finished working Kimberly, Combined Locks, and eastern Appleton. The Atlas mill, completed in 1878, eventually became part of the Kimberly-Clark Corp. The mill ceased operation ca. 1999, the year Kimberly-Clark donated it to the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame opened its new home as well as its interactive museum, the Paper Discovery Center, 26 Feb. ’05.

CN 9673
Title:  CN 9673
Description:  CN local pauses on former C&NW rails in Town of Menasha and fouls W. Prospect Ave./Hwy. BB as it drops its string of cars at the southwest end of the yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 2 Jul. ‘14. Train had finished working Kimberly, Combined Locks, and eastern Appleton and had one locomotive, CN 9673 (GP40-2LW). I captured this closeup because I was curious about the remnants of the stenciled "Newberry" faintly visible on the access panel underneath the cab window.

CN 9673 and CN 9574
Title:  CN 9673 and CN 9574
Description:  A CN train parallels Union St. and approaches the former Sherry St. grade crossing as it departs the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 26 Mar. '23. The train was heading to Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna. The historic Neenah Cheese & Cold Storage Co. facility, 434 Sherry St., is partially visible beyond the train. It was built in 1902 after the original 1892 building was destroyed by fire and is currently used for storage. The historic Murer House, 432 Sherry St., is partially visible beyond that. It was built by Felix Murer in 1892 and is currently home to Sherry Town Station. The WC (later SOO) depot stood on the opposite side of Sherry St. from those two buildings; it was built on the north side of Sherry St. on the east side of the tracks in 1891. It replaced the ca. 1871 depot that stood at the west end of Wisconsin Ave. The Sherry St. depot was demolished ca. 1955 when a new depot was built between Main St. and N. Lake St. on the west leg of the wye, about 850 ft. to the northwest. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St., used to be the yard, built by WC in 1882. I don't know when the current, significantly larger yard (extending southwestward from Winneconne Ave.) was built. A 1909 map shows the yard still here, a 1936 map depicts both the old and new yards.

CN 9673, CN 9574 and HLCX 3841
Title:  CN 9673, CN 9574 and HLCX 3841
Description:  A CN train passes the FV&LS (or FOXY), former CN, originally C&NW, depot as it prepares to set out cars at Appleton Junction, WI, on 31 Dec. '23. The train continued on to Little Chute and Kaukauna. There used to be a diamond right about where the rear truck of the trailing locomotive rests, 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). Now called Harry H. Long Moving Storage & Express, Inc., the company, founded in 1917, is still family owned. It moved to a larger facility in Town of Clayton, Winnebago Co., WI in 2001. I thought I left enough room to capture all three locomotives in the scene. I was mistaken.

CN 9673 and CN 9574
Title:  CN 9673 and CN 9574
Description:  A CN train is about to clear W. 2nd St. as it sets out cars at the FV&LS (or FOXY), former CN, originally C&NW, yard at Appleton Junction, WI, on 31 Dec. '23. The train continued on to Little Chute and Kaukauna. 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.

CN 9673 and CN 9574
Title:  CN 9673 and CN 9574
Description:  A CN train crosses S. Mason St. while headed northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI, on 31 Dec. '23. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna. I haven't learned why one side of the bridge is lower than the other, but I have discovered why one side is wider than the other. An old photograph reveals that the left (northbound) lane of S. Mason St. once accommodated a streetcar track and a lane for motor vehicle traffic simultaneously. You can also see that the bridge abutments and piers were designed to support two tracks, but I don't believe this area was ever double-tracked.

CN 9673 and CN 9530
Title:  CN 9673 and CN 9530
Description:  CN 9673 and CN 9530 work the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 18 Feb. '24. In the background, we can see evidence of continued expansion of Galloway Co., 601 S. Commercial St. (an active rail customer). This view would have been prevented by the original Neenah Foundry facility, later known as Plant 1, which stood here for over ¾’s of a century. Established in 1872 as Aylward Plow Works (a.k.a. Aylward & Sons) at 120 N. Lake St., they erected a new foundry at 500 W. Winneconne Ave. in 1918 “in a rural area of southwestern Neenah.” The name of Neenah Foundry was adopted in 1922. Expanded numerous times over the years, it became Plant 1 in 1960 when Plant 2 was constructed in the then rural area at the intersection of Byrd Ave. and the aptly named Aylward St. (followed by Plant 3 in 1967). Plant 1 was closed in 1994. It stood abandoned for a while and was eventually demolished.
