Viewing Album: Northeast WI, Fall 2021
By:
T. P. Bruss
Dates:
9/22/2021 - 12/20/2021
Album Info:
Most, if not all, of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the fall of 2021, 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.

Title:
IC 9622
Description:
A CN local parallels Ehlers Rd. and approaches Towmen Rd. as it heads northeast at Shawano Junction, Fox Crossing, Winnebago Co., WI (formerly Town of Menasha, Winnebago Co., WI, from 1855 until 14 Apr. 2016) on 25 Sep. '21. Local is transitioning from the former SOO rails to the former C&NW rails. 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 which allows the bypass of missing C&NW rails by using former SOO rails. These new signals were installed last year. The telephone pole beyond the locomotive stands next to an abandoned portion of the C&NW right-of-way.

GTW 6223 and IC 3115
Description:
A CN local crosses Hwy. O as it heads north via former SOO rails at Mackville Station, WI, on 16 Oct. '21. Listed as Mackville Station on some old maps, distinguishing it from the community of Mackville (which is 1-mile due east of here), it is listed as Mackville on some time tables. The remnants of the depot's foundation are hidden in the overgrowth to the right of the lead locomotive. Part of the passing siding can be seen to the right of that, it has been truncated at Hwy. O. What remains forms a spur which could be used to service Greener Vision Recycling & Waste (Greener Vision Recycling, Inc.), W4892 County Rd. O, Appleton, WI 54913 (physically located in Town of Center, Outagamie Co., WI).

IC 3106, GTW 5852, IC 3123
Description:
A CN local pauses in front of the depot/yard office at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI, on 16 Oct. '21. Local was headed back to Neenah and had two locomotives, IC 3106 and GTW 5852. The local power, IC 3123, rests to the right. There used to be a diamond right about where the front truck of the lead 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 behind the depot/yard office is the former home of the Harry H. Long Moving and Storage Co., 1001 S. Douglas St., Appleton, WI. 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.

GTW 5855
Description:
A CN local parallels Garner's Creek and crosses State St. as it approaches the remnants of the former C&NW yard at Combined Locks, WI, on 6 Nov. '21. Local was preparing to service the Midwest Paper Group mill, 540 Prospect St., looming in the background. Founded in 1889 (some references state 1892) as the Combined Locks Paper Co., it became Combined Paper Mills, Inc. in ‘46 after it purchased a paper mill in PA. Acquired by the National Cash Register Co. in ‘69, it was merged with Appleton Coated Paper Co. in ‘71 to form Appleton Papers, Inc. Commonly known as Appleton Papers Locks Mill, it has been controlled by several different domestic and foreign owners over the years. It was separated from Appleton Papers in ‘00 and became Appleton Coated, LLC. Ten members of the mill’s management purchased the facility from France-based Sequana SA on 19 Dec. ’14. Forced into receivership, it was purchased by scrap dealers, Industrial Assets Corp. and Maynards Industries USA, in Oct. ’17. They bought it to shut it down and gut it. By some miracle, they changed their minds and restarted the paper machines. The facility was re-named Midwest Paper Group ca. 19 Apr. ’18. Some of the rails were pulled up from this small yard in '13. All that remains is a runaround to access a pair of spurs for this side of the mill and a spur for a warehouse out-of-frame to the right (that spur does not appear to be used much, if at all, currently).

It looks like there used to be a RR crossing gates at both blue lights.

Title:
GTW 5855
Description:
A CN local passes under E. College Ave. and over E. Banta Ct. as it descends into 'The Flats' via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI, on 6 Nov. '21. Over the past several years, I have notice that some misinformed individuals erroneously refer to ‘The Flats’ as ‘Oneida Flats,’ or some other variation. However, the historic, industrial heart of Appleton is simply ‘The Flats.’ Many years ago it was referred to 'The Water Power.'
