Description:
A through freight, CN with leased power I presume, parallels W. Butte Des Morts Beach Rd. as it heads southwest pulling 99 cars via former C&NW rails at Milepost 211 at Stroebe, WI on 17 Mar. '14. Train was coming from Green Bay, not sure if it originated there or not. They are passing a long string of cars that had been spotted there for several days. Unbeknownst to me, a CN local was sneaking up, heading the opposite direction, along the former SOO rails parallel to, west of, this train.

CN 8803, CN 8912, NS 8033, NS 2688
Description:
A CN through freight passes the W. Bell St. overpass and slows to halt at Kampo Rd. as it heads northeast via a remnant of the former C&NW main line (now relegated to a passing siding) at Neenah, WI on 18 May '18. Train had four locomotives, CN 8803, CN 8912, NS 8033, NS 2688. The former SOO main line is in the foreground. A new turnout rests between the two sets of tracks. It looks like it might replace an existing turnout for the former C&NW passing siding.

Description:
A CN through freight rests at Kampo Rd. as it waits to proceed northeast via a remnant of the former C&NW main line (now relegated to a passing siding) at Neenah, WI on 18 May '18. The former SOO main line runs parallel on this side of the train. A new turnout rests between the two sets of tracks (at left). It looks like it might replace an existing turnout for the former C&NW passing siding. There are spurs for the two warehouses in the background, but the turnout that connected them to the siding has been gone for years.

NS 2750
Description:
NS locomotives are rather rare in this area, so I was obligated to try to snag them when I saw them on a CN through freight paused along former SOO rails short of Winchester Rd. in Town of Menasha, WI on 17 Dec. '13. Train had two locomotives, NS 2750 pulling and NS 9302 pushing. You can also see a CN local waiting in the background on the left.

CN 8000, CN 5694, CN 2126, RTEX 8153
Description:
CN through freight slowly crosses over from the former SOO rails to the former C&NW rails in front of Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 at the south end of the yard at Neenah, WI on 9 Apr. '14. They were splitting the train and pulled up to this point to clear a turnout before shoving the front half of the train back into the yard. Train had four locomotives, CN 8000, CN 5694, CN 2126, RTEX 8153. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about a mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished.

Description:
A CN through freight rests along Union St. at the former Sherry St. grade crossing at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 10 Apr. '20. Train had five locomotives, CN 2246, IC 2718, CN 8002, BCOL 4652, CN 5261. 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 still here.

CN 2231 and CN 8003
Description:
A CN train approaches Harrison St. as it heads south via former SOO rails at Town of Oshkosh, Winnebago Co., WI, on 15 Oct. '22. The former C&NW right-of-way runs parallel to these tracks just out-of-frame to the right. The CN main line transitions from the former SOO to the former C&NW right-of-way at Harrison St. I was standing on Harrison St., in the City of Oshkosh, but the train is traversing an isolated, pitiful scrap of the Town of Oshkosh. Amcor Flexibles North America (previously Bemis Oshkosh North), is partially visible in the background.

The former C&NW right-of-way runs parallel to these tracks just out-of-frame to the right. The CN main line transitions from the former SOO to the former C&NW right-of-way at Harrison St. There used to be a diamond under the lead locomotive, where a C&NW branch left their main line, crossed the SOO, and headed west. This is where Tower CF once stood. I was standing on Harrison St., in the City of Oshkosh, but the train is traversing an isolated, pitiful scrap of the Town of Oshkosh.

BNSF 8465, CN 2128, CN 8004, et al.
Description:
A CN unit train of gondolas passes a halted through freight along Union St. at the former Sherry St. grade crossing as it heads north at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 5 May '19. Moving train had two locomotives, BNSF 8465 and CN 2128. Halted through freight included CN 8004. The historic Neenah Cheese & Cold Storage Co. facility, 434 Sherry St., is partially visible at left. It was built in 1902 after the original 1892 building was destroyed by fire and is currently used for storage. The historic Murer House, 432 Sherry St., is partially visible beyond that. It was built by Felix Murer in 1892 and is currently home to Sherry Town Station. The WC (later SOO) depot stood on the opposite side of Sherry St. from those two buildings; it was built on the north side of Sherry St. on the east side of the tracks in 1891. 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 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.

Description:
A CN unit train of autoracks approaches E. Snell Rd., and an awesome 117-year old culvert, as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Oshkosh, WI, on 2 Aug. '20. The former C&NW right-of-way runs parallel to the right. The border between the City of Oshkosh and the Town of Oshkosh is ridiculously convoluted in this area. The land to the left of the active rails in front of me and the land on both sides of the active rails behind me is the Town of Oshkosh, but the land to the right of the active rails in front of me is the City of Oshkosh. Go about 400' behind me and the land on both sides of the active rails is the City of Oshkosh.

CN 8012 and CN 5729
Description:
A CN through freight approaches the mouth of the Neenah Slough at the south end of Little Lake Butte des Morts as it heads southeast via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 18 Oct. '18. It sure was nice of the railroad to complete some much-needed brush clearing along the tracks here so that train nuts like me can capture better views of their trains.

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 2831 and CN 8024 on the Oliver Bridge
Description:
A CN container train crosses the unique double-decked Oliver Bridge as it heads west via former DM&IR rails at Oliver, WI on 26 Jun. '16. Train had four locomotives, CN 2831 and CN 8024 pulling and CN 2252 and CN 2309 pushing. The Oliver Bridge is a double-deck, Warren truss, swing bridge built by the American Bridge Co. in 1910. It was built to connect the Spirit Lake Transfer Railway in MN to the Interstate Transfer Railway in WI, both became part of the DM&N. The bridge was named in honor of Henry W. Oliver, founder the Oliver Mining Co. It is 1,889’ long, 25’ wide, with a 306’ swing span. Due to the intent to span a navigable interstate waterway, the plans needed the approval of the War Dept. and Congress. The War Dept. required a movable span to enable river traffic. Congress required the accommodation of vehicular traffic. The railroads initially ignored the requirement to accommodate vehicular traffic; while most of the lower deck was built with the rest of the bridge in ‘10, the decking for the roadway was not installed and the approaches to connect roads to the bridge were not built. They ultimately conceded in ‘16 and the lower deck opened to traffic in ‘17. The roadway decking consisted of wooden planks until the timbers were replaced with concrete in 2001. The upper deck was built to be double tracked, but it is uncertain if it ever was. Some references are positive that it was double tracked, but one set was removed at some unknown point. Other references are sure that the second set of tracks were intended for an interurban line which ultimately never crossed the bridge, so that second set was never laid. Several references claim the bridge never operated as swing bridge, but there is plenty of information on the internet (if you extend your search beyond Wikipedia) to confirm that it did indeed function as such from when it was built until ca. ‘47. From about 1890 until at least 1942, excursion boats made frequent runs from Duluth to Fond du Lac, MN to carry passengers for day trips, weekend outings, and vacations. The Clow & Nicholson Transportation Co. was the prominent excursion line, from at least 1902 to 1942 their steamers Plowboy, Newsboy, Rotarian, Columbia, and Montauk (possibly others) made the 19 mile trip up river. A Minn. DoT bridge report also states that the DM&N, later DM&IR, had a bridge tender on duty continuously, in accordance with navigation laws, until 1953. That is when they received permission to stop manning the bridge due to the decline of river traffic, but they were required to maintain the ability to open the bridge on 3 hours’ notice if a ship needed to pass. The swing mechanism was disabled at some point.
