Title:
CN 9673 and CN 9574
Description:
A CN train parallels Union St. and approaches the former Sherry St. grade crossing as it departs the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 26 Mar. '23. The train was heading to Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna. The historic Neenah Cheese & Cold Storage Co. facility, 434 Sherry St., is partially visible beyond the train. It was built in 1902 after the original 1892 building was destroyed by fire and is currently used for storage. The historic Murer House, 432 Sherry St., is partially visible beyond that. It was built by Felix Murer in 1892 and is currently home to Sherry Town Station. The WC (later SOO) depot stood on the opposite side of Sherry St. from those two buildings; it was built on the north side of Sherry St. on the east side of the tracks in 1891. It replaced the ca. 1871 depot that stood at the west end of Wisconsin Ave. The Sherry St. depot was demolished ca. 1955 when a new depot was built between Main St. and N. Lake St. on the west leg of the wye, about 850 ft. to the northwest. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St., used to be the yard, built by WC in 1882. I don't know when the current, significantly larger yard (extending southwestward from Winneconne Ave.) was built. A 1909 map shows the yard still here, a 1936 map depicts both the old and new yards.

The MOSX reporting mark has been erroneously assigned to the Mosaic Corporation on this web site. Some references list the reporting marks for the Mosaic Corp. as MOCX or IMCX.

CN 3104 and CN 2778
Description:
A CN train approaches Kampo Rd. as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI, on 26 Mar. '23. Train had three locomotives, CN 3104 and CN 2778 pulling and CN 3893 mid-train. A remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, also in use by CN, runs parallel to the right. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 dominate the background. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about a mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished.

IC 2714 and CN 5792
Description:
A CN train (with a friendly crew) passes the former C&NW depot as it heads northeast at Green Bay, WI, on 15 Apr. '23. The depot, designed by Charles Sumner Frost, was built in the Italian Renaissance Revival style and completed in 1899. Passenger train service ceased in 1971 but it was still used by the railroad for years. From 1996 until 2021, it was home to Titletown Brewing Co. When they moved to larger quarters in one of the neighboring former cannery buildings, a new restaurant moved in, The Depot Gastro Pub. It looks like the current occupant is a restaurant called simply The Depot. The depot is also a stop on the Green Bay Packers' Heritage Trail. On the right is PPCX 800239, formerly AMTK 3222 'Palm Beach', formerly SCL 6602, formerly SAL 15. The 6-bedroom lounge car was built by American Car and Foundry Corp. in 1949 and ran on SCL between NY and FL for many years. Amtrak spent $150,000 on repairs and remodeling after a wreck in 1974, but discontinued it from service in 1977. Robert Nelson, a tax attorney at the National Railroad Museum at the time, purchased it from AMTK in 1978. He reconfigured the interior to 5 bedrooms, bar-lounge, and kitchenette. The restoration of the sleeper-lounge car was done well enough that it qualified to be pulled by AMTK trains. Not sure how long he owned it or who owns it now.

A CN train (with a friendly crew) approaches the station sign as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Green Bay, WI, on 15 Apr. '23. The tracks ended about 200 feet beyond the station sign in 1862, until construction resumed in 1871. This was where the yard used to be, until the current, much larger yard was built at North Green Bay.

IC 9564 and EJE 703
Description:
A CN train passes the FV&LS (or FOXY), former CN, originally C&NW, depot as it sets out cars at Appleton Junction, WI, on 16 Apr. '23. The train continued on to Little Chute and Kaukauna. There used to be a diamond right about where the front truck of EJE 703 rests, from ca. 1874 until at least 1968, where the MLS&W crossed the C&NW. When the MLS&W was absorbed by the C&NW on 1 Sep. 1893, their line became the Ashland Div. of the C&NW. The white building partially visible above EJE 703 is the former home of the Harry H. Long Moving and Storage Co., 1001 S. Douglas St. This building dates to at least 1953, when it was listed in the local directory (it was not listed in ’51). The building has a spur, but it hasn’t been used for quite a while (except for occasional MoW equipment). Now called Harry H. Long Moving Storage & Express, Inc., the company, founded in 1917, is still family owned. It moved to a larger facility in Town of Clayton, Winnebago Co., WI in 2001.

Description:
A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses W. Spencer St. as it shoves a few cars from the former C&NW yard to the former SOO, originally W&N, yard at Appleton, WI, on 12 May '23. The FV&LS inherited both yards from the CN. The facility on the left, 1840 W. Spencer St., is owned by Northern Wis. Warehouses, LLC, which gives the same address as the corporate office of WOW Logistics. Built in 1997 and later expanded, the facility has been sub-divided. Part of it is available for lease, part of it is used by Foremost. It could receive rail service, but hasn't for quite a while. The facility partially visible in the background to the right is Foremost Farms USA, 1815 W. Spencer St. The facility had a spur which was removed ca. Sep. '20, it had not been used for quite a while.

Description:
A CN train crosses Garfield Ave. as it works the northwest end of the former C&NW yard on Doty Island at Menasha, WI, on 18 May '23. The former Graphic Packaging International facility, originally Marathon Corp., 160 Washington St., stands at left. The oldest part of the facility was built in Apr. '47 to manufacture cartons for food packaging. The land had previously been used for stave and lumber drying yards for Menasha Wooden Ware. The facility operated continuously until the end of '16, when Graphic Packaging International abandoned 228 hardworking Americans by moving production out-of-state. Now it is just another warehouse.

Description:
A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses Hwy. MMM, formerly Hwy. 29, as it heads southeast via former C&NW rails at the Town of Richmond, Shawano Co., WI, on 26 May '23. These rails were laid by the C&NW in 1884. This is a rare, approximately 2-mile scrap of the former C&NW mainline which once ran 83 miles from Green Bay to Wausau (this is the only active remnant outside of those two cities). The rest of that former main line is now the Mountain-Bay State Trail. It is an awesome bicycle ride, but I (obviously) would prefer to see trains running on it.
