CN 2827, CN 2807, et al. |
| Description: |
CN through freight bisects the CHS Larsen Cooperative - Readfield grain terminal and fertilizer facility as it heads east via former SOO rails at North Readfield, WI on 28 Oct. '17. Larsen Cooperative merged with CHS, Inc. on 1 Sep. '12. At right, a railcar mover positions covered hoppers for loading. The idle Proppant Specialists, LLC, facility is partially visible at left. Train had three locomotives, CN 2827 and CN 2807 up front and CN 2909 mid-train. Some confuse North Readfield with slightly larger Readfield, 1 mile to the south. This is likely due, in part, because everything in the former has a mailing address of the latter. The pair of unincorporated communities are distinct, and the latter has no railroad tracks. |

CN local crosses S. Outagamie St. and W. Prospect Ave. as it heads southeast with a single sad and lonely boxcar via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 30 Oct. '17. It is depressing to see such a short train heading down this branch line; there used to be much more activity. |

| Description: |
CN local approaches Washington St. as it emerges from U.S. Paper Mills Corp., 69 Washington St., at Menasha, WI on 8 Nov. '17. This mill began production in 1891 as the John Strange Paper Co. It was purchased by Menasha Corp. in 1969 and renamed John Strange Paperboard Div. It was sold to U.S. Papers Corp. in 1981. It was sold to Sonoco ca. 2002. I’m not sure who these rails originally belonged to, the MILW, SOO, and C&NW all had access to this small industrial island for many years. |
