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.

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.

CN 8804, BCOL 4642, CN 2273
Title:  CN 8804, BCOL 4642, CN 2273
Description:  CN ore train approaches W. Forest Ave. as it crosses N. Water St. and crosses the Neenah Channel of the Fox River via the former joint MILW/SOO bridge at Neenah, WI on 8 Jan. '15. The head of the train is crawling over a mile through Neenah and into Menasha far enough for the train to clear the turnout at the east end of the wye. The train would then take the east leg of the wye into the yard, before eventually continuing on toward its destination. The building in the background, the corporate headquarters of Plexus, stands on the site of the former Glatfelter Paper mill (formerly Bergstrom Paper, originally Winnebago Paper), which stood for well over a century (the oldest part of the original mill was constructed in 1874) until it was torn down a few years ago.
