Title:  CN 8837, et al.
Description:  A CN through freight traverses the S-curve at the north end of the former SOO yard and approaches the Main St. overpass at Neenah, WI on 16 Dec. '18. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot rest in the shadows next to the 1st and 2nd autoracks. 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. Train had two locomotives, CN 8837 and CN 2178. Eggers Industries, originally Hardwood Products Co., 164 N. Lake St., is visible in the background at left. Clearwater Paper Corp., formerly Kimberly-Clark’s Lakeview mill, 249 N. Lake St., Neenah, WI (physically located in Fox Crossing, WI (formerly Town of Menasha, WI until 14 Apr. '16)), is partially visible in the background at right. Both facilities are active rail customers.

Title:  CN 8841 and CN 2195
Description:  A southbound CN container train passes the depot/yard office and the sad remnants of the former C&NW yard at Oshkosh, WI on 25 Jun. '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. The new bascule bridge over the Fox River is visible at right, it was completed in Aug. '13 to replace the 1899 swing bridge.

Description:  A CN unit train of 2-bay covered hoppers crosses E. Parkway Ave. and parallels Broad St. as it heads south via former C&NW rails at Oshkosh, WI on 25 Jun. '17. This was a chance encounter, otherwise I would have attempted to shoot it from the other side of the tracks in order to avoid all of the telephone poles.

CN 8845
Title:  CN 8845
Description:  A CN container train crosses Hwy. M as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Medina Station, Town of Dale, Outagamie Co., WI on a foggy 21 Jan. '17. Train had two locomotives, CN 8823 pulling and CN 8845 mid-train. The WC built a depot here somewhere between 1871, when the line was laid, and 1889, when I recently found it depicted on a map. The site was labeled as Medina Station on maps until at least 1915. The depot stood approximately where the CN microwave tower now stands, just out-of-frame to the right.

Title:  CN 8846
Description:  A CN container train passes a halted through freight and traverses the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 7 Sep. '20. It looks like some new, concrete railroad ties will be installed on the main line soon. I've never seen these around here before. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot can be seen near the center of the scene. 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. On the far side of the train lies Arrowhead Park, a closed paper sludge landfill. Before the landfill was opened in the '50s, the south shore of Little Lake Butte des Morts came right up to the north leg of the wye (partially visible in the background). Train had two locomotives, CN 2282 pulling as well as CN 8846 pushing.
