| Description: |
A trio of interesting out-of-towners lead a through freight approaching S. Perkins St. while headed northeast through the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 8 Apr. '18. Train had three locomotives, NS 8077, GECX 7328, NS 1115. Until recently, the building at right had a sign denoting its use by All About Packaging, Inc., Warehouse #2. There is a spur along the south side of the building, the wheel stops can be seen if you zoom in, but the turnout for the spur was removed years ago. The oldest part of the building was completed in Mar. '60, the new facility for the Fox Valley Sheltered Workshop. Inc. (started in '55 to create employment opportunities for the disabled). It became Valley Packaging Industries Inc. ca. mid- or late-'80s. After they moved to a new facility, this one has been home to Valley Planing Mill, Inc., followed by Perfect Patterns, Inc. The All About Packaging, Inc., main facility is a couple of blocks away on W. Everett St. |

| Title: |
NS 8077, et al. |
| Description: |
An interesting trio of foreigners lead a unit train of 2-bay covered hoppers approaching Dixie Rd. while headed southwest along the CN, former SOO, rails at Town of Vinland, Winnebago Co., WI on 12 Apr. '18. Train had three locomotives, NS 8077, BNSF 4162, BNSF 9061. The CN completed some significant brush clearing here about a month ago. The large patch of white gravel is a spot that has been recently leveled off in preparation for some upcoming work. I'm standing where the former C&NW right-of-way used to cross the road. Part of the former C&NW main line forms a long passing siding, sometimes referred to as Dixie Siding, at right. |
