| Two boxcars are spotted at Pluswood, a division of Panolam Industries. Pluswood is a rather large complex with multiple car spots. It doesn't seem to be as busy there as it could be, however, at least they still get switched often enough to keep the line open. Oshkosh Cold Storage, to the left, also has a spur off this line. I have not seen a car spotted there. This industrial spur branches off the former CNW line that ran thru Oshkosh (now CN) and looped around the industrial north side of town. The track then came to a wye near Lake Buttes des Morts where it connected with an industrial spur along the shoreline and continued on to Hortonville and beyond. this track is what crossed the Soo at what is still Medina Junction. This track in the photo now ends about a quarter mile behind the camera and the former right of way to Hortonville is the Wiowash recreational trail. Pluswood and Cold Storage are the last two customers on this once very busy spur. There is yet one more between this point and the connction to the mainline. |
