NS 8945, et al.
Title:  NS 8945, et al.
Description:  An interesting trio of out-of-town visitors lead a through freight across Towmen Rd. via CN rails as it transitions from former SOO rails (in the foreground) to former C&NW rails at Shawano Junction, WI on 24 Feb. '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. Train had three locomotives, NS 8945, NS 1065, NS 2600.

CSX 424, CSX 927, CSX 9014, et al.
Title:  CSX 424, CSX 927, CSX 9014, et al.
Description:  A CN container train passes the Main St. overpass as it traverses the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 13 Jun. '18. The white building beyond the train at right is, or was, Progressive Paper Storage, Inc. (formerly Kimberly-Clark Warehouse (K-C Warehouse)). It does not receive rail service, but it looks like there may have been a spur on the northwest side of the building in the past. Train had six locomotives, CN 2242, CN 2453, CN 5734, CSX 424, CSX 927, CSX 9014. Several of Neenah's hideous, modern buildings pollute the skyline in the background at right (obviously I am not a fan of modern, so-called, architecture).

NS 9674 and NS 9476
Title:  NS 9674 and NS 9476
Description:  A pair of out-of-town visitors lead a through freight past the former Sherry St. grade crossing along Union St. as they pull out of the north end of the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI on 30 Oct. '16. The building at left is what remains of the Neenah Cheese & Cold Storage Co. facility at 434 Sherry St., Neenah, WI. It was built in 1902 after the original building was destroyed in a fire. The original 2-story brick building was constructed by Nicholas Simon in 1892, a 3rd story was added later. It was home to his N. Simon & Co., a cheese maker as well as wholesaler of butter, cheese and eggs, until he moved his company to Appleton, WI, ca. 1900. He was well-known both for the quality of his cheese as well as for making several gigantic cheeses. His largest weighed 12,361 lbs., was 8’ in diameter and 5’ thick, which he created on 15 Aug. ’11 at Appleton, WI, to be exhibited at the National Dairy Show held in Chicago later that year. By the 1950s this facility was home to the L. D. Schreiber & Co. refrigerated warehouse. A 2-story section at the rear of the building was demolished at some point. The parking lot at left is the site of Neenah's 2nd WC (later SOO) depot, built in 1891. This depot was torn down as soon as the third one opened, built ca. 1955 about 850 ft. to the northwest. Looking south from the Main St. overpass.
