| Description: |
CN local passes behind the former SOO freight house as it approaches Oak St./Hwy. E while servicing Waupaca Foundry, Plant 1, out of frame to left, at Waupaca, WI on 4 Apr. '15. This is the 2nd WC/SOO freight house at Waupaca. It was built in early 1949 after the original freight house burned down in Nov. '48. The bowling alley next door to the south caught fire and the flames spread to the freight house. The original 1871 WC passenger depot was converted into a freight house after the 2nd depot was completed in Apr. ‘81. The 1st freight house had been moved from its original location to the current freight house location ca. 1901, when the 2nd depot was moved to the west side of Guard St., now Oak St. |

A CN local shoves a string of cars across Garners Creek and into the east side of the Appleton Coated, LLC paper mill at Combined Locks, WI on 3 Mar. '17. Founded in 1889 as the Combined Locks Paper Co., it became Combined Paper Mills, Inc. in ‘46 after it purchased a paper mill in PA. Acquired by the National Cash Register Co. in ‘69, it was merged with Appleton Coated Paper Co. in ‘71 to form Appleton Papers, Inc. Known as Appleton Papers Locks Mill, it has been controlled by several different domestic and foreign owners over the years. It was separated from Appleton Papers in ‘00 and became Appleton Coated, LLC. There are currently 2 spurs on this side of the facility and 4 on the west side, there used to be more. The station sign is on the right, I do not know when the depot was removed. |

CN local sorts cars at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 2 Jul. '17. This view would have been prevented by the dominating silhouette of the original Neenah Foundry facility, later known as Plant 1, which stood here for over ¾’s of a century. Established in 1872 as Aylward Plow Works (a.k.a. Aylward & Sons) at 120 N. Lake St., they erected a new foundry at 500 W. Winneconne Ave. in 1918 “in a rural area of southwestern Neenah.” The name of Neenah Foundry was adopted in 1922. Expanded numerous times over the years, it became Plant 1 in 1960 when Plant 2 was constructed in the then rural area at the intersection of Byrd Ave. and the aptly named Aylward St. (followed by Plant 3 in 1967). Plant 1 was closed in 1994, the corporate overlords didn’t want to spend any money to update the plant. It stood abandoned for a while and was eventually demolished. Part of the fence on this side of the tracks has been temporarily removed, they were preparing to replace some of the turnouts on this end of the yard. |

CN local passes behind the former C&NW depot after servicing Expera Specialty Solutions (originally Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co.) at Kaukauna, WI on 28 Jul. '17. The depot was built in 1947 at the intersection of Depot St. and Draper St. to replace the old, wooden depot. Designed in the Art Moderne style, it originally had flat roofs. The current gabled roofs were added at some point after 1983. It became known as the north side depot after 1890, when the MLS&W, later C&NW, built their large, ornate depot south of the Fox River. That depot disappeared many years ago. |

CN local crosses N. Lake St. past Eggers Industries as it heads southeast via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 23 Aug. '17. Founded at Neenah, WI, in 1910 as Hardwood Products Co., construction of the facility commenced in Oct. ’10. It was renamed Hardwood Products Corp. as a result of a merger with Mississippi Veneer & Lumber Co. on 20 Apr. ’22 (the latter company was formed by the same businessmen who founded the Neenah company). Eggers Industries acquired Hardwood Products Corp. in 1965 and renamed it Eggers Hardwood Products Corp. Eggers was founded by Fred W. Eggers at Two Rivers, WI in 1884 to make wood baskets used by farmers. They later started making plywood and other wood veneer products. There used to be 3 spurs to service the facility, now there is only 1. Train was likely returning from Waupaca. |

| Description: |
Canadian National usually works Oshkosh at night, running a turn from Neenah. The local is caught here on the east side of the Jackson Street grade crossing. It is between Jackson Street (State Road 76) and Main on the north end of town. The train will be headed to switch covered hoppers stored on the west end of this former CNW industrial spur used in service with Bemis Performance and Pacur. A good sign here is two empty center beam bulkhead flats that could have only come from Noffke Lumber. That is a good sign of activity at the lumber yard. |

CN 4705 and IC 9623 |
| Description: |
Three CN trains meet along Union St. at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 6 Sep. '17. A local returns to the yard from Waupaca on the main line in the foreground with two locomotives, CN 4705 and IC 9623. A through freight on the passing siding was preparing to set out and pick up some cars and had two locomotives, CN 2331 and CN 5616. Hidden behind the through freight, another local was returning from Menasha and points beyond with over 30 covered hoppers and had one locomotive, IC 3107. |

CN 4705 |
| Description: |
CN local crosses Appleton St. as it services Intertape Polymer Group, IPG, 741 4th St., Menasha, WI, from the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI on 8 Sep. '17. Founded in Menasha in Dec. 1917 as George Banta Paper Co., an affiliate of the George Banta Publishing Co. They merged with Menasha’s Gebrick Paper Co. in ’19 and continued under the Banta name. The name was changed to Central Paper Products Co. (later shortened to Central Paper Co.) ca. Sep. ’20, about the same time they moved to their new location here on the north side of the joint MILW/SOO tracks. The facility was acquired by Alco Standard Corp., based in Valley Forge, PA, ca. 29 Sep. ’69 but continued to operate as Central Paper. The name changed to Central Products Co. at some point after ’74. Spinnaker Industries, Inc. purchased Central Products Co. from Alco ca. 1 Jul. ‘95. Intertape Polymer Group, Inc., from Canada, purchased Central Products from Spinnaker ca. 12 Apr. ’99. The facility at right is currently home to Alliance Industries, 320 Appleton St., Menasha, WI, they apply powder coatings and manufacture sand cores. Founded at Waupaca, WI in 1979, they leased this facility in 2005. They later purchased the facility as well as the adjacent one at 313 Appleton St. The facility was home to Menasha Mill Supply Co. from at least 1939 through the 1970s, they primarily processed waste paper. It clearly used to receive rail service, but it does not seem to currently. The former MILW yard was located on the other (south) side of it; the building could be serviced by both railroads simultaneously. |

| Description: |
CN local crosses Millview Dr. and prepares to take the east leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 8 Sep. '17. Sadly, there are no longer any mills to be seen along Millview Dr. The P. H. Glatfelter Co. paper mill stood to the left for 135 years, the oldest part of the original mill was constructed in 1874. Glatfelter purchased the mill from Bergstrom Paper Co. in 1979. Bergstrom had purchased the mill, originally Winnebago Paper, in 1904. 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. The corporate headquarters of Plexus, 1 Plexus Way, Neenah, WI 54956 (out of frame to left), and yet another Affinity clinic at 101 Main St. occupy the sight of the old paper mill. Neenah's newest, modern eyesore, the Gateway office building (also obviously used by Plexus), looms in the background. After razing some more cool, old buildings, construction commenced 4 May '16 and was completed about a year later. Given local obsession with surface parking, as opposed to more efficient use of urban land afforded by parking ramps, numerous old homes were acquired and destroyed for a parking lot out of frame to the right. There is no room for historic buildings and classic architecture in Future Neenah. |

CN local crosses S. Locust St. as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 23 Sep. '17. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna. This grade crossing will likely be closed as part of Appleton's quest for so-called quiet zone status. |

CN local passes Sherwood Elevator and crosses Military Rd./Hwy. M at Sherwood, WI, while headed toward Menasha via former joint MILW/SOO rails on 22 Oct. '17. Sherwood Elevator, N599 Military Rd., Sherwood, WI, has been owned, operated, and expanded by the Kress family since they purchased it in 1951.

| Description: |
CN local passes Intertape Polymer Group, IPG, 741 4th St., Menasha, WI, as it heads west via former joint MILW/SOO rails at Menasha, WI on 22 Oct. '17. Founded in Menasha in Dec. 1917 as George Banta Paper Co., an affiliate of the George Banta Publishing Co. They merged with Menasha’s Gebrick Paper Co. in ’19 and continued under the Banta name. The name was changed to Central Paper Products Co. (later shortened to Central Paper Co.) ca. Sep. ’20, about the same time they moved to their new location at 422 Manitowoc St. on the north side of the joint MILW/SOO tracks. It’s the same facility, but the address changed when a portion of Manitowoc St. was vacated to allow westward expansion ca. ’76-’80. The facility was acquired by Alco Standard Corp., based in Valley Forge, PA, ca. 29 Sep. ’69 but continued to operate as Central Paper. The name changed to Central Products Co. at some point after ’74. Spinnaker Industries, Inc. purchased Central Products Co. from Alco ca. 1 Jul. ‘95. Intertape Polymer Group, Inc., from Canada, purchased Central Products from Spinnaker ca. 12 Apr. ’99. The remnants of a spur lead to what was once an overhead door to the left of the locomotive (underneath the company's sign). The rails are still in place, but the turnout was removed quite a while ago (the facility still receives rail service (covered hoppers and tank cars) from the opposite end of the building). |
