Title:
CN 9515
Description:
A CN train momentarily fouls E. Snell Rd. as it heads northeast with five cars and a caboose via former SOO rails at Town of Oshkosh, Winnebago Co., WI, on 18 May '25. The current border between the City of Oshkosh and the Town of Oshkosh is ridiculously convoluted in this area. The current GIS suggests that 3/4 of the locomotive is in a pitiful scrap of the Town of Oshkosh, but the near right 1/4 might be in the City of Oshkosh. The train stopped to throw the turnout (out-of-frame to the left) to enter an industrial spur for a couple of customers. Of course I got to watch a fancy SUV catch a little air as it sped through the crossing as the gates were coming down.

Title:
CN 9515
Description:
A CN train slows to pause at Harrison St. as it heads north with five cars and a caboose via former C&NW rails at Oshkosh, WI, on 18 May '25. Consist included WC 15, the former AC 9602. They stopped to throw the turnout (just out-of-frame to the right) to enter an industrial park on the north end of Oshkosh. I thought they were going to serve a customer, but it seems like they were just clearing the main line for an approaching south bound train. The CN main line transitions from the former C&NW rails to the former SOO rails here at Harrison St. Tower CF once stood out-of-frame to the right, where it guarded a diamond where a C&NW branch left their main line, crossed the SOO, and headed west. I wouldn't have shot them here if I knew they were going to stop to throw the turnout right in front of me. I don't like to be in their face.

CN 9515 and WC 15 Caboose at C&NW Oshkosh Depot
Description:
A CN train parallels Broad St. and passes the depot as it heads north with four cars and a caboose via former C&NW rails at Oshkosh, WI, on 18 May '25. Consist included WC 15, the former AC 9602. The former C&NW depot was built by the Chicago firm of Clark & Fuller in 1884 at a cost $15,000. The depot was more ornate when it opened on 1 Dec. ’84, some of its interesting architectural elements have been removed over the years. The last passenger train, the Peninsula “400,” departed on 31 Jun. ’71. The depot is currently used by Clarity Care.

GTW 5855 and WC 15 Caboose
Description:
A CN train shoves across Oregon St. as it heads southeast via former SOO rails at Oshkosh, WI, on 13 Apr. '25. The train was preparing to service Hydrite Chemical, 2810 Oregon St., and included WC 15 caboose (the former AC 9602). I had not intended to chase trains today. However, when I saw a train with a caboose departing the yard at Neenah, I was obligated to give chase. I had hoped to shoot more of this train, but I lost it.

GTW 5855 and WC 15 Caboose
Description:
A CN train parallels Hwy. 41 and passes the Hwy. G overpass as it heads southwest via former C&NW rails at Snells, WI, on 13 Apr. '25. Train was headed for Oshkosh and its consist included WC 15 caboose (the former AC 9602). Snells, also formerly known as Snell’s Station or Snell’s Crossing, is now little more than a map dot in the Town of Neenah, Winnebago Co. Some modern maps don't even include the dot. This small, rural community once included a post office, depot, cheese factory, sawmill, school, and stockyard. It does not look like any real remnants of the original community remain. Even the station sign, erected after the depot was removed, is gone. The former SOO rails, also in use by CN, run parallel on this side of the train. I had not intended to chase trains today. However, when I saw a train with a caboose departing the yard at Neenah, I was obligated to give chase.

Train was headed for New London. The train is about to pass the historic Schwebs’ Hotel, built across the tracks from the depot in 1877. It was later renamed Hotel Jungmann, later Hotel Hoffman. It is currently home to the Black Otter Supper Club, 503 S. Nash St. I have not eaten there myself, but everyone I know who has says it is great. One of these days I will have to check it out for myself.

A CN train parallels W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd. and passes the station sign as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Stroebe, WI, on 28 Feb. '25. Stroebe is a railroad station in Fox Crossing, Winnebago Co., WI (formerly Town of Menasha, Winnebago Co., WI, from 1855 until 14 Apr. 2016 (not Outagamie Co., where Stroebe was erroneously placed on this site)). The former SOO rails, also in use by CN, run parallel to the right. Modern maps tend to omit the W. from W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd. for some reason, it is also absent on the current street sign. Some old maps include the W., some old maps omit the W.

AMTK 345, et al.
Description:
AMTK Train 8, ‘Empire Builder,’ crosses N. Spring St. as it arrives at the CP, former MILW, depot (out-of-frame to the left) at Columbus, WI, as it heads southeast on 27 Feb. '25. Train had two locomotives, AMTK 345 and AMTK 305. Consist included AMTK 61047, AMTK 39031, AMTK 32086, AMTK 32069, AMTK 38067, AMTK 34114, AMTK 38043, AMTK 34031, AMTK 31045, AMTK 32050. Designed in the Italianate style, it was constructed of lumber with brick veneer by the M&StP in 1871. When the current depot was built in 1906, this became the freight house. I don't know when the railroad stopped using it, but it obviously became part of the Caldwell Lumber Co. quite a while ago. The company, originally known as Mair and Caldwell, started when R. J. Caldwell and William Mair purchased the Brittingham and Hixon Lumber Co. The depot is currently used by Vita Plus.

Description:
A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses W. Spencer St. as it pulls 8 cars south at Appleton Junction, WI, on 31 Jan. '25. I'm not sure who laid these rails, they formed an interchange between the former C&NW yard (out-of-frame to the right) and the former SOO yard (out-of-frame to the left). The FV&LS inherited both yards from the CN. The tracks form the border between Appleton (far side) and the Town of Grand Chute (near side). There is a simple memorial attached to the railing at the center of the bridge. Sadly, Betty Rolf was murdered here on 7 Nov. '88. Unsolved for nearly 36 years, on 21 May '24 Gene Meyer was convicted for murdering her.

A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses the junction with the former C&NW right-of-way, now the Mountain-Bay State Trail, as it heads southeast via former CN, historically SOO, rails at Shawano, WI, on 31 Jan. '25. The red brick interlocking tower that guarded the junction stood to the right, south of SOO tracks and east of C&NW tracks, until it was torn down circa 1995. I thought the tower stood by the clump of trees to the left, but a review of others' photographs on rrpicturearchives.net as well as some old maps has proven that my recollection of the tower's location was erroneous.

Description:
A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses Hwy. MM as it prepares to switch Shawano Specialty Papers (div. of Little Rapids Corp.) via former CN, historically C&NW, rails at West Shawano, WI, on 31 Jan. '25. Founded as the Wolf River Paper & Fiber Co. on 7 Feb. 1894, the name was changed to Shawano Paper Mills ca. Nov. ‘49. The facility was leased to Little Rapids Pulp Co. (later Little Rapids Corp.) in Feb. ’50, they purchased the facility on 25 Jun. ’55. The name changed to Little Rapids Corp.-Shawano Mill in ‘93, but it was still commonly referred to as Shawano Paper Mill. The area around the mill, which includes some former company houses, used to be referred to as West Shawano. It was labelled as such in the '11 county atlas (Upham & Russell Cos. Plat and Riverview Addition), the '20 township map, and the name still appears on some official property records. The paper mill stands along an approximately 2-mile scrap of the former C&NW mainline which once ran 83 miles from Green Bay to Wausau (this is the only active remnant outside of those two cities). That former main line is now the Mountain-Bay State Trail. It is an awesome bicycle ride, but I (obviously) would prefer to see trains running on it.
