NS 9304 and CN 2511
Title:  NS 9304 and CN 2511
Description:  A CN through freight slowly crosses N. Lake St. as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 4 Jan. '18. I thought that they had closed the grade crossing to repair it because it is starting to get a little rough, but it turns out they needed to replace a section of rail on the main line. Now the grade crossing is just a little rougher. Eggers Industries, 164 N. Lake St., Neenah, WI, a rail customer, is partially visible at right. Founded at Neenah, WI, in 1910 as Hardwood Products Co., construction of the facility commenced in Oct. ’10. It was renamed Hardwood Products Corp. as a result of a merger with Mississippi Veneer & Lumber Co. on 20 Apr. ’22 (the latter company was formed by the same businessmen who founded the Neenah company). Eggers Industries acquired Hardwood Products Corp. in 1965 and renamed it Eggers Hardwood Products Corp. Eggers was founded by Fred W. Eggers at Two Rivers, WI in 1884 to make wood baskets used by farmers. They later started making plywood and other wood veneer products. There used to be 3 spurs to service the facility, now there is only 1.

Description:  CN local waits on the siding along W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd. as a CN through freight heads southwest via former C&NW rails at Milepost 211 at Stroebe, WI on 31 Dec. '15. The local was headed for Appleton, Little Chute and Kaukauna and had two locomotives, CN 4788 and GTW 4924. I don't know the through freight's origin or destination, but it had one locomotive, CN 2512.

CN 5704, CN 2522, CN 2727
Title:  CN 5704, CN 2522, CN 2727
Description:  A fast moving CN container train is about to overtake a slow moving 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 5704 and CN 2522. Mixed freight had two locomotives, CN 2300 and CN 2727. The rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties next to the locomotives rest atop the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. 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. Clearwater Paper, formerly Kimberly-Clark, a long-time rail customer, looms background left.

CN 2325 and CN 2522
Title:  CN 2325 and CN 2522
Description:  A CN container train crosses the mouth of the Fox River via the 2013 CN bascule bridge at Oshkosh, WI, on 1 Dec. '20. This bridge was completed in Aug. '13 to replace the former C&NW 1899 swing bridge. The interesting and historic brick industrial facility at 32-36 Broad St., was erected by Oshkosh’s J. A. Day & Co. in 1870. The flour mill was built for George M. Wakefield, et al., to replace the earlier Oshkosh City Flouring Mills, which stood here until destroyed by fire on 17 May ‘70. That large, old, wooden flour mill (built in ‘56) had been purchased by A. S. Trow & Co. in ‘69 (Wakefield was a partner in that company). When the current facility was completed in ‘70, it became known as the Wakefield Mill, or Wakefield’s Mill, operated by the Wakefield Bros. It continued to be referred to as the Wakefield Mill until at least ‘95, operated by Woodford, Foote & Co. in ‘76, and then Foote Bros. & Co. from about ‘77 until ‘90. It operated as the Foote-Cornish Milling Co. from ‘91 until about the end of 1900. It was home to the Wisconsin Pulp Plaster Co. circa ‘04-‘07. The Baker Paper Co., founded in ‘99, moved into the facility in Aug. ‘14 and owned it until ca. 1993. It is currently home to the Oshkosh-area United Way, et al.
