CN 5620, PRLX 211, CN 2122, CN 2410, CN 8013
Title:  CN 5620, PRLX 211, CN 2122, CN 2410, CN 8013
Description:  A CN through freight pauses along Union St. at the former Sherry St. grade crossing at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 20 Apr. '19. Train had five locomotives, CN 5620, PRLX 211, CN 2122, CN 2410, CN 8013. The 1891 WC (later SOO) depot stood on the north side of Sherry St. on the east side of the tracks. It replaced the ca. 1871 depot that stood at the west end of Wisconsin Ave. The Sherry St. depot was demolished ca. 1955 when a new depot was built between Main St. and N. Lake St. on the west leg of the wye, about 850 ft. to the northwest. The Main St. overpass can be seen at left. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St., used to be the yard. I don't know when the current, significantly larger yard (extending southwestward from Winneconne Ave.) was built, but a map from 1909 shows the yard here.

CN 2123 and CN 5662
Title:  CN 2123 and CN 5662
Description:  CN mixed freight emerges from a tree line and approaches the Hwy. 10 overpass as it heads northwest via former SOO rail at Town of Clayton, Winnebago Co., WI (not to be confused with Village of Clayton in Polk Co., WI) on 11 Oct. '15. Train is about to pass what used to be the Center Rd. grade crossing, but that road was truncated short of the tracks during the Hwy. 10 expansion and relocation several years ago. The headlight arrangement on the lead locomotive appears unusual.

CN 2128, CN 2163, and CN 8867
Title:  CN 2128, CN 2163, and CN 8867
Description:  A southbound CN unit train of 2-bay covered hoppers passes the depot/yard office and the sad remnants of the former C&NW yard at Oshkosh, WI on 29 May '17. The depot/yard office sits at the approximate location of the C&NW’s South Oshkosh depot, a smaller, plainer structure than their once ornate Oshkosh depot which still stands less than a mile to the north. Historically, everything south of the Fox River was once known as South Oshkosh. The C&NW South Oshkosh depot was saved from demolition, but its current fate is unknown to me. I have seen post-relocation photographs of it on the internet, but they do not reveal its precise location. Some references state it was moved to downtown Oshkosh, others state it was moved to a park in Oshkosh. If it still survives, I have not found it yet. The yard was torn up in Aug. '16. There had been no cars spotted here since at least 31 Jan. '16. They did leave the passing siding and team track.

Description:  CN container train approaches a halted mixed freight on the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 15 Aug. '15. Container train had two locomotives, CN 8881 pulling and CN 2129 pushing. Mixed freight had two locomotives, CN 2300 and CN 2727. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot are on the other side of the locomotives. There are rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties stacked upon it. It was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened. The Main St. overpass is partially visible in the background.

Description:  CN local approaches the former S. Pierce Ave./W. 8th St. grade crossing as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 22 Apr. '17. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna. The train would have been hidden behind the historic Pierce Manufacturing plant that occupied this city block from 1917 until it was razed in 2011. This plot of land has been divided into lots for Habitat for Humanity and some homes have sprung up to partially obscure the view.
