Viewing Album: Marion Plywood Corp. and Great Lakes Veneer, Inc.
By:
T. P. Bruss
Dates:
8/31/2013 - 12/31/2019
Album Info:
Marion Plywood Corp. and its co-located subsidiary, Great Lakes Veneer, Inc., at 222 S. Parkview Ave. (originally Railroad Ave.) straddles the former C&NW ROW at Marion, WI. It was founded as Rogers & Johnson Co. in 1894 to manufacture excelsior and round veneer cheese boxes. Their original plant was located about 1,000 ft. to the southwest at the intersection of Vine St., Elm St., and North Ave. (now Maes St., SE 2nd St., and Rodgers St.) and received rail service via C&NW from day one. Their primary focus shifted to plywood and they changed the name to Marion Plywood Corp. in 1950. They eventually moved to this newer and larger mill along the C&NW tracks at some point. They received direct rail service until 1982, when the rail line was abandoned. A large addition was built over and beyond the original ROW after the rails were pulled. The facility still receives rail service, albeit indirectly, from CN via a combination of former C&NW and GB&W rails at New London, WI. GLVX pulpwood cars are spotted on the team track, former GB&W rails, on the northwest side of New London. The logs are trans-loaded to trucks for the 24-mile trip to Marion.

GLVX 26 and GLVX 27, derailed
Description:
A pair of Marion Plywood Corp. cars at the CN, former C&NW, yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 10 Jul. '14. The crew was sorting cars and assembling the train they intended to haul to New London later that night or early the next morning. Unfortunately there was a slight mishap. It is difficult tell from this angle, but each of GLVX cars has a truck on the ground due to a minor derailment (behind the pile of new ties). You can see a broken rail sticking up beneath GLVX 26. Damage was minor and no one was hurt.

GLVX 23, GLVX 30, GLVX 19
Description:
A trio of loaded Marion Plywood Corp. cars, GLVX 23, GLVX 30, GLVX 19, were part of the consist of a CN local crossing Towmen Rd. as it headed northeast at Shawano Junction, Fox Crossing (originally Town of Menasha until 14 Apr. '16), Winnebago Co., WI on 19 Feb. '19. This spot used to be named Fox River Junction, after several segments of the original C&NW main line through Menasha and Neenah were removed and a turnout was installed here (out-of-frame to the right) which allows the bypass of missing C&NW rails by using former SOO rails. The local is transitioning to the former C&NW rails to head for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna. The SOO rails in the foreground continue toward Shawano, WI. The cars are owned by Marion Plywood Corp. (est. 1894) and will be spotted on a former GB&W team track at New London, WI, in a couple of days. There, the logs will be trans-loaded to trucks for the 24-mile trip to Marion, WI. Marion had rail service, courtesy of C&NW, from 1879 to 1982. The reporting mark belongs to Great Lakes Veneer, Inc., a subsidiary of Marion Plywood Corp.
