| Description: |
CN local passes the historic Dale feed mill and approaches Main St./Hwy. 96 as it heads northwest via former SOO rails on 10 Feb. '18. The street shows up as Wisconsin Ave. on the satellite map but it is historically Main St. and is listed as such on CN's signal relay case.

By ’10 it was the Western Elevator Co., Western Grain Co. in some references. It was the Steffen’s Elevator Co. from ca. ’21 until at least ’68, it was purchased by John H. Steffens and later run by his sons. It was Dale Feed Service from ca. ’73 until at least ’81. It has been home to Earth Sense Energy Systems, Inc., since ’96. Train was headed for Waupaca. |

GREX 2120 |
| Description: |
GREX 2120 DumpTrain® Aggregate Delivery System waits to unload some ballast at the south end of the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI on 10 Feb. '18. GREX 2900 is unloading ballast background right, partially obscured by brush. These interesting pieces of equipment can unload 2,000 tons per hour and deposit it up to 50' from the tracks. The hopper cars are permanently coupled together and "empty onto a single conveyor belt that runs the entire length of the train," enabling the transfer car to dump them all in succession. The train is on a remnant of the C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding. The former SOO main line is in the foreground. |
