Title:
CN 9515 and GTW 5812
Description:
A CN local parallels W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd., passes Milepost BG 211, and approaches Stroebe Rd. as it heads northeast with 20 cars via former C&NW rails at Stroebe, WI on 10 Nov. '19. Stroebe is a railroad station in Fox Crossing, WI (formerly Town of Menasha, Winnebago Co., WI, from 1855 until 14 Apr. 2016). The former SOO rails 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. Local was headed for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna.

Title:
CN 9515, et al.
Description:
A CN local passes behind the depot/yard office as it prepares to set out a string of cars at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 10 Nov. '19. Usually they stay on the main line and pass in front of the depot/yard office while making their setout, but this isn't the first time I've watched them do it this way. Local would continue on to Little Chute and Kaukauna and had two locomotives, CN 9515 and GTW 5812. There used to be a diamond in front of where the depot/yard office sits, about where the sidewalk leading to the front door crosses the tracks, 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.

CN 9515, GTW 5812, CN 4705
Description:
A heavily powered CN local crosses W. 2nd St. as it prepares to set out a string of cars at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 15 Nov. '19. Local would continue on to Little Chute and Kaukauna. Carter's Caboose, 1428 W. 2nd St., a small, old, rail side tavern, is partially visible at left. It dates to at least 1887, when it was a grocery store operated by Peter Leininger. By 1901 it was a sample room (saloon) operated by John Sigl. By ‘30 it was a soft drink establishment owned by Hubert J. Merkel and August F. Brandt (Prohibition was still in effect). By ’36 it was a tavern operated by Albert Giesen, owned by Mrs. Gretchen Merkel. By ’38 it was Bob’s Tavern, still owned by Mrs. Merkel. It was the Junction Tavern from at least ’43-’71, still owned by Mrs. Merkel until at least ’60 (there were at least two different owners between ’67-’71). At some point in the ‘70s it became Pete’s Junction (possibly Palomino Pete’s Junction). It was called Netticoat Junction ca. the ‘90s (owned by Joanne M. ‘Nettie’ Nett). I haven’t learned how long it has been Carter’s Caboose.

CN 9515 and IC 3137
Description:
A CN train passes the former Caroline St. grade crossing as it departs the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 5 Nov. '23. The train was heading for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St., used to be the yard, built by WC in 1882. I don't know when the current, significantly larger yard (extending southwestward from Winneconne Ave.) was built. A 1909 map shows the yard still here, a 1936 map depicts both the old and new yards.

CN 9515 and CN 9452
Description:
A CN train approaches Towmen Rd. as it transitions from the former SOO rails to the former C&NW rails 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 Jan. '25. 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.

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.

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.

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.
