CN 5246 and CN 5286
Title:  CN 5246 and CN 5286
Description:  A heavily powered CN local crosses S. Perkins St. as it slows to halt at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 19 Apr. '18. They will drop off some cars here before continuing on to Little Chute and Kaukauna. The after effects of a recent, record breaking, spring snowfall are readily apparent.

CN 5246 and CN 5286
Title:  CN 5246 and CN 5286
Description:  A heavily powered CN local crosses E. Wisconsin Ave. via the former C&NW bridge as it heads northeast through Appleton, WI on 19 Apr. '18. I am surprised that the FRVR sign remains, unscathed. The identical sign on the opposite side has been damaged due to vandalism. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna.

CN 5246
Title:  CN 5246
Description:  A heavily powered CN local passes Legion Park (on the other side of the train) as it heads northeast with 12 cars via the former C&NW rails at Little Chute, WI on 19 Apr. '18. Train has just finished servicing Nestlé Pizza Division, originally Jack's Pizza, and is now headed for Kaukauna and had two locomotives, CN 5246 and CN 5286. Little Chute's authentic, fully-functional windmill is visible background left. An 1850s design, it was constructed in the Netherlands, disassembled, shipped here, reassembled, and dedicated on 20 Sep. '14.

CN 5246 and CN 5286
Title:  CN 5246 and CN 5286
Description:  A heavily powered CN local parallels Ehlers Rd. and approaches Towmen Rd. as it heads northeast via former SOO rails at Shawano Junction, WI on 23 Apr. '18. 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. The train is about to cross over to the C&NW rails. Train was headed for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna.
