IC 3115 |
| Description: |
CN local crosses Thilmany Rd. and starts across the former C&NW bridge over the Fox River as it services the Expera Specialty Solutions paper mill (out of frame to the right) at Kaukauna, WI on 8 Jul. '17. From its founding in 1883 until 26 Jun. '13, the Kaukauna paper mill was Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co. (a.k.a. Thilmany, LLC or Thilmany Papers). Bridge was built by American Bridge Co. of New York in 1911. The oldest portion of the original Thilmany mill, saved from the wrecking ball and restored, stands out of frame to the left; currently home to the Kaukauna Public Library and offices for Expera Specialty Solutions. Several large additions to that mill would have been visible behind the train, until they were destroyed in 2013. |

CN 80350 |
| Description: |
CN 80350 was 1 of 5 Water Transporters at the head end of a CN through freight slowing to halt along Union St. as it headed north at north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 15 Jul. '17. The white building behind the train is what remains of the Neenah Cheese & Cold Storage Co. facility at 434 Sherry St., Neenah, WI. It was built in 1902 after the original building was destroyed in a fire. The original 2-story brick building was constructed by Nicholas Simon in 1892, a 3rd story was added later. It was home to his N. Simon & Co., a cheese maker as well as wholesaler of butter, cheese and eggs, until he moved his company to Appleton, WI, ca. 1900. He was well-known both for the quality of his cheese as well as for making several gigantic cheeses. His largest weighed 12,361 lbs., was 8’ in diameter and 5’ thick, which he created on 15 Aug. ’11 at Appleton, WI, to be exhibited at the National Dairy Show held in Chicago later that year. By the 1950s the facility was home to the L. D. Schreiber & Co. refrigerated warehouse. A 2-story section at the rear of the building was demolished at some point. It appears to be used for storage now, and has been for quite a while. |
