HLCX 1048 and HLCX 1042
Description:
A FV&LS (or FOXY) local crosses the last remaining scrap of what was once the South Channel of the Fox River via former CN, historically C&NW, rails in 'The Flats' at Appleton, WI, on 5 Feb. '22. Old maps reveal that the west end of the South Channel was filled in at some point between 1916 and 1957. Most of the remainder of the South Channel was filled in the following years. This remaining portion forms the confluence with a mill race which connects West’s Power Canal (a.k.a. West’s Canal, a.k.a. Grand Chute Island Canal) to the Fox River. Edward West bought Grand Chute Island and excavated the canal in 1870 to provide water power for the industries which were built soon after. The facility beyond the train is currently home to JWM Coenen Mechanical (historically Allis-Chalmers, originally Valley Iron Works), 401 E. South Island St. The now idled Neenah Paper (formerly Fox River Paper Co.), 600 S. Vulcan St., is partially visible in the background to the right. Neenah Paper closed this facility last year, even though they recently completed a multi-million-dollar addition to the facility. It was the last active rail customer in 'The Flats' and had been for a number of years. Hopefully a new industrial concern will purchase the facility, instead of it being torn down or converted into trendy, over-rated, over-priced apartments. 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.'

A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses S. Whitman Ave. as it prepares to switch Quality Carriers, 700 S. Whitman Ave., at the northwest corner of the wye at the former CN, originally C&NW, yard at Appleton Junction, WI, on 12 Mar. '22. This track, which is now part of the north leg of the wye, is a remnant of the MLS&W main line which once ran from Milwaukee to Ashland. The facility partially visible in the background to the right is Foremost Farms USA, 1815 W. Spencer St. They had a spur which was removed ca. Sep. '20, it had not been used for quite a while. An old caboose is displayed in the background to the left. It is painted as RI 17177. Some references claim it was not their caboose, but MILW. It is currently for sale. I wish I could afford to purchase it (the price is not listed, but, as the old saying goes, if you have to ask, you can't afford it).

A FV&LS (or FOXY) train passes the station sign and approaches S. Nash St./Hwy. M (originally Oshkosh St.) as it heads southeast via former CN, historically C&NW, rails at Hortonville, WI, on 13 Mar. '22. It is difficult to believe that there used to be five tracks here. To the right is the historic Schwebs’ Hotel, later Hotel Jungmann, later Hotel Hoffman, currently Black Otter Supper Club, 503 S. Nash St., built in 1877. A pair of historic elevators are partially visible in the background. The near one, Peter Olk’s Elevator (a.k.a. Olk’s Elevator), 136 W. Dewey St., dates to at least 1894. Black Otter Supply is the facility’s most recent, if not current, occupant. The far one stands at 503 S. Mill St. and dates to at least 1890.

The FV&LS inherited both yards from the CN. The facility on the left, 1840 W. Spencer St., is owned by Northern Wis. Warehouses, LLC, which gives the same address as the corporate office of WOW Logistics. Built in 1997 and later expanded, the facility has been sub-divided. Part of it is available for lease, part of it is used by Foremost. It could receive rail service, but hasn't for quite a while. The facility partially visible in the background to the right is Foremost Farms USA, 1815 W. Spencer St. The facility had a spur which was removed ca. Sep. '20, it had not been used for quite a while.

It’s cool that one old telephone pole stands along the right-of-way (to the right of the locomotive).

A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses Municipal Dr./Hwy. 76 as it heads southeast via former CN, historically C&NW, rails at Greenville, WI, on 6 Aug. '23. The historic Greenville House, a.k.a. Kronser Hotel & Saloon, stands in the background. Built by Joseph A. Kronser in 1897, it is currently home to Greenville Station (formerly Bootleggers), with a first floor bar and a second floor resale store. Several references erroneously state that the building dates to 1887. The original hotel was erected in that year, but it burned down and the current facility was erected in its place. Some references also claim that the building has been called Greenville Station for over 100 years, but that too is an exaggeration.
