CN units take the southeast leg of the wye at Nekoosa Junction in Port Edwards. The crew will is setting up to make a shove into the tracks at the closed Nekoosa Edwards Paper Company, which was closed by then owner Domtar Paper in 2008. The railroad still makes use of the rail infrastructure of the mills 192 acre site. There may be some businesses located on the DMI owned property, however much of the redevelopment has come to a standstill in late 2017 as the company hired to raze the buildings DMI Acquisitions wanted demolished had left the property and the job unfinished. |

CN train backs into the former C&NW and SOO yards at Wisconsin Rapids, WI on 4 Jul. '17. Both roads had parallel yards here, approximately 4 tracks each ca. 1973. Both roads used to cross the GB&W behind me. The track on the left has been truncated at the street, but it used to form the northwest quadrant of the junction. A junction of the MILW and GB&W was nearby (to the right) as well. This portion of Wisconsin Rapids, formerly Grand Rapids, was known as West Rapids, shortened to Westrap on some old maps and railroad documents. |

CN train sorts cars while another unit rests at the former C&NW and SOO yards at Wisconsin Rapids, WI on 4 Jul. '17. They had parallel yards here, approximately 4 tracks each ca. 1973. Both roads used to cross the GB&W just out of frame to the left. A junction of the MILW and GB&W was not far behind me. This portion of Wisconsin Rapids, formerly Grand Rapids, was known as West Rapids, shortened to Westrap on some old maps and railroad documents. I'm curious to learn where the old signal relay case at right used to rest. Milepost CM 412.75 at Hwy. K obviously, but there is no Hwy. K near here. The Hwy. K grade crossing at Bateman in Eau Claire Co., WI is a possibility. |

| Description: |
A heavily powered CN local shoves its train across Hwy. 73 and into the yards of Domtar's abandoned Port Edwards, WI paper mill (historically Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co.) via former MILW rails at Nekoosa Junction, WI, on 4 Jul. '17. The paper mill, built in 1896 by the John Edwards Manufacturing Co., was served by the MILW, SOO, C&NW, and Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co., so there are 4 yards here. Domtar acquired the facility in '01 and threw 500 Americans out of work in '08. The facility sat abandoned until '13, when Domtar sold it to DMI Acquisitions, LLC, a vague entity which acquires idle industries to strip them of anything salvageable. They claim to be committed to finding new industrial tenants to occupy the facility and take advantage of the extensive rail infrastructure. Some references promise that, with 7-figure assistance from Wisconsin taxpayers, 800 new jobs will replace the 500 that were lost. Time will tell. |

| Description: |
A heavily powered CN local services ERCO Worldwide, 101 Hwy. 73 S., Nekoosa, WI (physically located in Port Edwards, WI) via former SOO rails at Nekoosa, WI, on 4 Jul. '17. The ERCO Worldwide facility partially visible in the background was built by Wyandotte Chemical, construction began in the spring of 1966 and it became operational in '67. Pumchased by BASF in '69 or '70, it was known as BASF Wyandotte. Purchased in '80 by Vulcan Materials Co. for their Chemical Division (their Chem. Div. was named Vulcan Chemicals in '81).+Occidental Chemical purchased Vulcan Chemicals from Vulcan Materials in '05. An FTC-imposed condition on the sale allowed Occidental to acquire Vulcan’s facilities at Geismar, LA, and Wichita, KS, but they were required to immediately sell the Port Edwards facility, which was purchased by Canada-based ERCO Worldwide. The facility currently produces chemicals for use by pulp/paper, food processing, agriculture, electronic, de-icing, petroleum and water treatment facilities. The tank cars at left rest upon the SOO branch from Wisconsin Rapids to Nekoosa, the locomotives and the remainder of the train are crossing over to the former C&NW branch between the two cities. There are remnants of MILW and Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co. rails still in use in the vicinity as well, the four railroads ran side-by-side between Port Edwards and Nekoosa. |
