Description:  CN local approaches Garfield Ave. as it backs through the remnants of the C&NW Neenah-Menasha yard at Menasha, WI on 5 Jun. '16. The border between the Twin Cities of Neenah and Menasha bisects the yard about 200 feet north of the depot, out of frame to the left.

GTW 6221

Glatfelter moved the jobs to Ohio in June 2006, the mill stood idle for about two years until it was torn down, demolition was completed in May 2009.

GTW 6221
Title:  GTW 6221
Description:  A gap in the cars on the yard tracks in Neenah allows a peek at the congregated power in front of the depot. This is the former Soo Line (WC) yard in Neenah. A lot of locals work out of this yard, though the traffic has diminished over the last couple decades as the paper mills are being lost to closure. Fortunately, there have been some new businesses come along to fill some of the void.

IC 9625
Title:  IC 9625
Description:  Thirty five years ago, this was the Soo Line yard in Neenah. The yard was usually quite full and bustling with activity. The Soo seemed to be the most prosperous railroad of the three serving the area. (Milwaukee Road and Chicago and Northwestern being the other two) Naive thinking had one believe the Soo would be around forever. The Milwaukee Road was up for sale, and would be gone, but not the Soo. The CNW also figured to be around for a long to come. It was only a matter of less than ten years for all three to be gone. Of the two yards in town, only the Soo Line yard remains serving close to its original purpose. There are many less boxcars, and the Soo white, red and black a fading memory. Back in 1982, a teenage rail fan, took it all for granted and would have never imagined the CN coming in and absorbing it all.

Description:  Unfortunately, my timing was just a little off to catch the big cloud-to-ground lightning bolt that struck in the distance behind the crossing signal moments after this photo was snapped, and my video camera wasn't framed wide enough to catch it. I would redeem myself shortly, though.

Lightning in a Bottle
Title:  Lightning in a Bottle
Description:  Frame grab from 4K video. CGs (cloud-to-ground lightning) had been striking to the west and north the whole time I was waiting for the train here, and I was hoping to capture something like this. A light shower had begun moments before the train arrived, and shortly the skies opened up and it poured the rest of the morning and into the early afternoon, all the way up to north of Junction City as I chased L581 toward Wausau.

"Humpback" end of GECX 2029
Title:  "Humpback" end of GECX 2029
Description:  This gives the Tier 4 GEVOs a distinctive look apart from their Evolution Series predecessors. Also note the two-chime back-up horn. Some newer EMDs, such as the Tier 4 SD70ACes, also have them, along with the CP GP20C-ECOs, although I have yet to hear a crew actually use one in place of the main horn when operating the unit long-hood-forward.
