NS 8945, et al. |
| Description: |
An interesting trio of out-of-town visitors lead a through freight across Towmen Rd. via CN rails as it transitions from former SOO rails (in the foreground) to former C&NW rails at Shawano Junction, WI on 24 Feb. '18. This spot used to be named Fox River Junction, after several segments of the original C&NW main line through Menasha and Neenah were removed and a turnout was installed here which allows the bypass of missing C&NW rails by using former SOO rails. Train had three locomotives, NS 8945, NS 1065, NS 2600. |

CN 2856 |
| Description: |
A CN container train hugs the western shore of Lake Winnebago as it heads north via former C&NW rails at Oshkosh, WI on 24 Feb. '18. Several ice fishing shanties can be seen out on the lake. I had hoped to capture a similar scene a week or two earlier, when there was much more activity on the ice, due to the sturgeon spearing season (the railroad did not cooperate). Train had two locomotives, CN 2856 pulling and CN 2987 pushing. |

Peculiar |
| Description: |
A cut of cars spotted in a very peculiar location, the CN track which once enabled interchange traffic between the former C&NW yard (behind me) and the former SOO yard (in the distance) at Appleton Junction, WI on 24 Feb. '18. I had to photograph this scene just because it is one of those instances of railroad operations which leaves me scratching my head. There are 3-4 loaded TPPX woodchip gondolas at the far end of the cut of cars. Those cars are almost never dropped off at the Appleton yard. The train originates in Neenah, stops in Appleton to drop of some cars, and continues on to work Little Chute and Kaukauna. Once-in-a-great-while they will leave a couple of TPPX cars in the Appleton yard for some strange reason, but leaving them here makes no sense at all (at least not to a casual observer like me). |

CN 2884 |
| Description: |
A CN container train approaches Winchester Rd./Hwy. II as it heads southeast via former SOO rails at Fox Crossing, WI (formerly Town of Menasha, WI until 14 Apr. '16) on 25 Feb. '18. Train had two locomotives, CN 2884 pulling and CN (?) pushing. The facility partially visible in the background is Essity, formerly SCA Tissue until 14 Jun. '17, originally Wisconsin Tissue Mills. It used to receive rail service, but has not for quite some time. |

WC 16, ex-MILW |
| Description: |
A CN local shoves past the driveway as it prepares to service LSC Communications, Inc. (formerly RR Donnelley, originally Banta Corp.) via former MILW rails at Menasha, WI on 25 Feb. '18. LSC Communications was spun off from RR Donnelley ca. Nov. '16. I was thrilled to espy WC 16 bringing up the rear of the consist. It was awesome to see a former MILW caboose on former MILW rails, and it isn't very often that I get to watch a caboose in a moving train. |
