Album Info:Most of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the fall of 2014, so they are mostly CN operating on former C&NW, GB&W, MILW, and SOO rails. Once in a while I try to catch ELS and WSOR on former MILW rails too.

CN 8858 and CN 5751
Title:  CN 8858 and CN 5751
Description:  CN ore train slowly traverses the north leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 11 Dec. '14. Train has just cleared the turnout at the west end of the wye and a fellow CN worker is about to throw it to re-align it with the main line. The head of the train was crawling over a mile through Neenah and into Menasha far enough for the train to clear the turnout at the east end of the wye. The train would then take the east leg of the wye into the yard, before eventually heading toward Green Bay and points beyond. Train had four locomotives, CN 2725 and CN 2037 pulling as well as CN 8858 and CN 5751 pushing.

GTW 6221
Title:  GTW 6221
Description:  CN local momentarily fouls Racine Rd. in order to service Orbis, out of frame to right, via former MILW rails at Menasha, WI on 19 Dec. '14. The road is the dividing line for this portion of the often convoluted border between the Town of Menasha and the City of Menasha, so the locomotive and I were in the Town while most of the train was in the City.
