CN 9473 |
| Description: |
A CN local works in the former SOO yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. Local was servicing Presto Products Co., 670 N. Perkins St., Appleton, WI (physically located in Grand Chute, WI). The former SOO main line is hidden beyond the overgrowth at left and passes under the former C&NW main line about 400' behind me and to the left (southwest). The track running past me served as an interchange for the SOO and C&NW. The former C&NW yard is behind me. The SOO yard later served as an intermodal yard for the WC. The first turnout to the right leads to the last remaining diamond in Appleton (that I know of). The diamond forms the junction of 2 industrial spurs, neither of which, unfortunately, has seen a train for quite a few years. The second turnout to the right leads into the yard. |

| Description: |
A CN local passes under the former C&NW main line (obscured by vegetation in the background) and is about to pass under W. Spencer St. as it curves northeast via former SOO rails at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. Spencer St. forms part of the convoluted border between the Town of Grand Chute and the City of Appleton in this area. The train is traversing a small sliver of the former and will enter the latter when it emerges from beneath Spencer St. behind me. |

A CN local parallels and crosses S. Whitman Ave. as it shoves along the track which connects the former SOO yard (behind me) to the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. An old caboose is partially visible at right. It is painted as RI 17177. Some references claim it was not their caboose, but MILW. The sign for Foremost is visible at left. They have a spur, but it has not been used for quite a while. |

| Description: |
A CN local pauses on the north leg of the wye at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. They have just pulled in from the track which connects the former SOO yard to this yard. They will now change direction to take the north leg far enough to clear the turnout which allow them to shove along the west leg of the wye so they can eventually spot their string of cars at the southwest end of the yard. The hi-rail MoW vehicle is CN or WC 177903. The tank cars are spotted for Quality Carriers, Inc., 700 S. Whitman Ave, Appleton, WI. They are located within the wye and transload materials from railroad tank cars, and the occasional covered hopper, to semi tank trailers. |

| Description: |
A CN local crosses the Fox River pulling 13 boxcars via the former C&NW bridge in the Flats in Appleton, WI on 29 Sep. '17. It is actually two bridges side-by-side, the former MILW bridge is the nearest of the 2, its rails were pulled years ago. Train was headed for Kimberly and Combined Locks. The Atlas Paper Co. mill, 425 W. Water St., is on the left. Completed in 1878 and expanded over the years, it eventually became part of the Kimberly-Clark Corp. (K-C). The mill ceased operation ca. 1999, the year K-C donated it to the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame. After some of the additions were razed, the Hall of Fame opened its new home and its interactive museum, the Paper Discovery Center, on 26 Feb. ’05. |

A CN local prepares to spot a boxcar at Luvata (originally Valley Cast, Inc.), 553 Carter Ct., Kimberly, WI, via former C&NW rails at Kimberly, WI on 29 Sep. '17. Valley Cast, Inc. (formerly Valley Cast Wire Co., a division of Appleton Wire), built this facility in Kimberly in 1989 to supplement their facility at 908 N. Lawe St., Appleton, WI (currently known as Luvata Appleton). The boxcar about to be spotted is NADX 11089, formerly GB&W, possibly originally P&W. There used to be sidings on each side of the main line here. As you can see, both sidings were removed about a year or so ago but the turnouts remain. |

A CN local hauls 11 boxcars westward over Hwy. 441 (a.k.a. Tri-County Expressway) via the former FRVR bridge as it crosses the border from Kimberly into Appleton, WI on 29 Sep. '17. There was no bridge here until the expressway was constructed in the early '90s, completed Sep. '93. The tan building at left is Prolamina (formerly Coating Excellence International (cei)), 3621 E. Newberry St., Appleton, a rail customer. Train was heading back to the former C&NW yard at Appleton, WI after servicing Kimberly and Combined Locks. The vandalism was inflicted since the last time I photographed a train crossing it on 26 Mar. '14. I'm surprised at how long it stood unmarred. |
