CN 9513 and CN 4711 |
| Description: |
CN local crosses the turnout for the north leg of the wye as it traverses the east leg of the wye at north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 28 Aug ’16. The rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties in the foreground rest atop the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. It was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened. Plexus and the Affinity clinic in the background were erected on part of the site of the former P. H. Glatfelter Co. paper mill, which stood here for 135 years, the oldest part of the original mill was constructed in 1874. Glatfelter purchased the mill from Bergstrom Paper Co. in 1979. Bergstrom had purchased the mill, originally Winnebago Paper, in 1904. 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. The steel skeleton of Neenah's latest repugnant, modern office building rises background right. There is not much room for historic buildings or classic architecture in Future Neenah. I believe the train was preparing to head toward Manitowoc. |

The former site of the CN/C&NW yard at Oshkosh, WI. |
| Description: |
Looking southwest at the pitiful remnants of the CN, former C&NW, yard at Oshkosh, WI on 3 Sep. '16. The yard was torn up recently, after 157 years. There have been no cars spotted here since at least 31 Jan. '16. They did leave the passing siding and team track. The tan building to the right of the tracks sits at the approximate location of the C&NW's South Oshkosh depot, a smaller, more plain structure than their once ornate Oshkosh depot which still stands less than a mile to the north. The South Oshkosh depot was saved from demolition, but its current fate is unknown to me. I have seen post-relocation photographs of it on the internet, but they do not reveal its precise location. Some references state it was moved to downtown Oshkosh, others state it was moved to a park in Oshkosh. If it still survives, I have not found it yet. |

| 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. |
