GTW 5856 and IC 9602         
CN local crosses the Fox River pulling 16 cars over the former C&NW bridge in the Flats in Appleton, WI on 10 Mar. '14. It is actually two bridges side-by-side, the former MILW is on the left, unfortunately its rails were pulled up years ago. Train was headed back to the yard after servicing Kimberly and Combined Locks. The former Atlas Paper Co. mill is on the left, it was completed in 1878.

Richard Hopfensperger General Nice view. Just think, the trains here need to get up that ridge on the other side. 3/16/2014 8:46:33 AM
