I was thrilled to find a trio of loaded Marion Plywood Corp. cars, GLVX 23, GLVX 30, GLVX 19, at the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI, on 18 Feb. '19. I was thrilled because I haven't seen a loaded GLVX car since Feb. '17, so I've been worried about the status of rail service for that historic facility. The cars are owned by Marion Plywood Corp. (est. 1894) and will be spotted on a former GB&W team track at New London, WI, in a couple of days. There, the logs will be trans-loaded to trucks for the 24-mile trip to Marion, WI. Marion had rail service, courtesy of C&NW, from 1879 to 1982. The reporting mark belongs to Great Lakes Veneer, Inc., a subsidiary of Marion Plywood Corp. |
