GTW 5857 |
Description: |
CN local passes the idle Earl Litho Printing Co. facility, 1486 Earl St., as it services LSC Communications, Inc. (formerly RR Donnelley, originally Banta Corp.), via former MILW rails at Menasha, WI on 10 Dec. '17. I'm not sure when the Earl Litho facility closed. When I saw its current condition, I feared that it was being razed. I was surprised to learn that someone wants to remodel it for continued industrial use. I hope they succeed. |

Description: |
Waupaca-bound CN local kicks up some of the freshly fallen snow and approaches the junction with the former C&NW right-of-way, now the Wiouwash State Trail, as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Medina Junction, WI on 13 Dec. '17. This scene looks odd without the interesting, old telephone poles that stood along the far side of the tracks for 146 years, until they were removed between 4 and 18 Sep. '17. Looking southeast from the Train Watchers' bench; it was emplaced on the Wiouwash State Trail in 2016, "In honor of John Kurka, Papa to Sam and Caleb, "the Train Watchers."" |

IC 2725, CN 5691, CN 2298 |
Description: |
CN through freight approaches the Main St. over pass as it traverses the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI 13 Dec. '17. Train had three locomotives, IC 2725, CN 5691, CN 2298. The rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties, visible to the left of the locomotives, rest atop the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. It was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened. The silo in the background belongs to Eggers Industries (originally Hardwood Products Corp.), 164 N. Lake St., a periodic rail customer. The woodpile background left contains remnants of old telephone poles which were removed from somewhere along the line earlier this year. The east leg of the wye is in the foreground. |

CN through freight approaches the Main St. over pass as it traverses the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 13 Dec. '17. Train had three locomotives, IC 2725, CN 5691, CN 2298. The Neenah Stove Works, currently occupied by Hafemeister Machine Corp., 635 Main St. and International Children's Fund, 619 Main St., is partially visible background left. [The facility has undergone numerous name changes in its long history, but if one were to pick a generic and historic name for it, it would need to be Neenah Stove Works because that is what it was referred to for so many years, through several changes in ownership. The second most common generic reference would be the Neenah foundry, because for many years it was the only foundry in Neenah, but obviously that could cause confusion today.] Clearwater Paper Corp., formerly Kimberly-Clark’s Lakeview mill, 249 N. Lake St., Neenah, WI (physically located in Fox Crossing, WI (formerly Town of Menasha, WI until 14 Apr. '16)), stands background right. The east leg of the wye is in the foreground. |

CN 4721 and CN 9473 |
Description: |
CN local emerges from behind All About Packaging, Inc., Warehouse #2, 1325 S. Perkins St., and approaches S. Perkins St. as it heads northeast through the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 14 Dec. '17. Train was preparing to drop off a cut of cars before continuing on to Little Chute and Kaukauna. There is a spur along the south side of the building, the wheel stops are partially hidden in the snow, but the turnout for the spur was removed years ago. The oldest part of the building was completed in Mar. '60, the new facility for the Fox Valley Sheltered Workshop. Inc. (started in '55 to created employment opportunities for the disabled). It became Valley Packaging Industries Inc. ca. mid- or late-'80s. After they moved to a new facility, this one has been home to Valley Planing Mill, Inc., followed by Perfect Patterns, Inc. It is currently a warehouse for All About Packaging, Inc., whose main facility is a couple of blocks away at 2200 W. Everett St. Founded at Appleton, WI in '96, they specialize in thermoformed packaging. |

More than quarter horses |
Description: |
A northbound grain train rolls past the driveway for Shockeys Farm, its sign proclaiming their featured stock. The KCS has something somewhat larger than quarter horses to handle their task. Sadly, this sign was taken down during the US 59 widening project, which upgraded the road to four lanes here. |

Cherokee panorama |
Description: |
The spread of eastern Oklahoma, Cherokee territory, is seen in this view of a northbound grain train just north of Westville. View is from what was then two lane US 59, which is going up a hill at this point. The new, four lane US 59 would open in 2016 about midway up the frame, roughly where the barbed wire fence is, relegating the road Im on to local access for some farms and a church. Its a much better vantage point now without the traffic. |

BO 0-4-0 #37 - Baltimore & Ohio |
Description: |
Prior to Alco merger, the Pittsburgh Locomotive & Car Works built this cute 0-4-0 switcher in June 1893 (c/n 1444) originally for the Valley Railway of Ohio as #16, which went to the Cleveland Terminal & Valley as #16. In 1902 the Baltimore & Ohio acquired it, renumbered #37, class C11, and was caught by R.D. Patton as it sat in the Wilmington, DE, yard. Number 37 was scrapped in August 1945. |
