IC 3107         
CN local approaches the former N. Superior St. grade crossing as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 20 Nov. '16. The building behind the train is the former Furnishings Unlimited warehouse, 323 N. Division St. I don't think they were the original occupant of the building, but they were there for quite a few years. The facility used to receive rail service, but it hasn't for quite some time. The 1911 Sanborn map depicts three businesses occupying the approximate foot print of the current building, an agricultural implement warehouse, a furniture warehouse, and a stock yard. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna.
