| Description: |
A CN local parallels 4th St. while working in the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI, on 9 Oct. '20. Local was preparing to head for Hilbert, and likely points beyond. The facility partially visible to the left is currently home to Alliance Industries, 320 Appleton St.; 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. (built in 1960). The facility was home to Menasha Mill Supply Co. from at least 1939 through the 1970s (according to tax records, this facility was built in 1966), 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. |

IC 9563 |
| Description: |
A CN local passes Intertape Polymer Group, IPG, 741 4th St., as it heads east via the former joint MILW/SOO rails at Menasha, WI, on 9 Oct. '20. 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. They receive rail service from the other end of the facility, but they, obviously, do not currently receive service from this end. Local was headed for Hilbert. |
