WC 16, ex-MILW 992214
Title:  WC 16, ex-MILW 992214
Description:  CN caboose, WC 16, formerly MILW 992214, in the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI on 20 Jan. '15. I've never seen it beyond the limits of the Neenah yard, so I was obligated to grab a couple of photographs when I found it sitting here. The ghost of the WC logo is visible under the bay window.

WC 16
Title:  WC 16
Description:  CN caboose, WC 16, rests on former MILW rails at Hilbert, WI on 18 Oct. '17. The ghost of the WC logo is visible under the bay window. I was starting to worry about this caboose because I hadn't spotted it in its usual hiding places in Neenah, Menasha, or Oshkosh lately, so I was pleased to find it here. The water tower was repainted earlier this year, unfortunately they painted over the neat railroad scene which was once depicted on it.

WC 16
Title:  WC 16
Description:  CN caboose, WC 16, rests on former MILW rails at Hilbert, WI on 18 Oct. '17. I was starting to worry about this caboose because I hadn't spotted it in its usual hiding places in Neenah, Menasha, or Oshkosh lately, so I was pleased to find it here. The former MILW depot is partially visible background left. The stop sign on the main line in the background is mounted on a gate which protects the former SOO main line at Hilbert Junction. The MILW main line used to continue on to Green Bay, WI and points beyond. The active rails currently end between Crosstown Rd. and Ott Rd., where Lund Construction occasionally receives a freight car. The remains of the right-of-way to Green Bay is the Fox River State Trail.

CN 4721 and a MILW Caboose on MILW Rails
Title:  CN 4721 and a MILW Caboose on MILW Rails
Description:  A CN local momentarily fouls the driveway as it prepares to depart LSC Communications, Inc. (formerly RR Donnelley, originally Banta Corp.), 800 Midway Rd., and head southwest via former MILW rails at Menasha, WI on 17 Dec. '17. 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 I can't recall the last time I saw a caboose on a train.

Title:  WC 16, ex-MILW 992214, ex-MILW 02214
Description:  A CN local crosses Midway Rd. as it departs LSC Communications, Inc. (formerly RR Donnelley, originally Banta Corp.), just out-of-frame to the right, and heads southwest via former MILW rails at Menasha, WI on 17 Dec. '17. 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 I can't recall the last time I saw a caboose in a moving train. The ghost of the WC logo is visible under the bay window. In the background, the ongoing reconstruction of Hwy. 10/Hwy. 441 (a.k.a. the Tri-County Expressway) continues.

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.
