| Description: |
A CN local approaches S. Railroad St. as it heads northeast through the former C&NW yard at Kimberly, WI on 31 Mar. '18. It’s depressing to see this small yard so empty. Just a couple of years ago, dozens of cars would have been seen here, waiting to be spotted for area customers. At left is a reminder of one of the previous owners of the line. |

IC 3138 |
| Description: |
A CN local slows to pause in the remnants of the small former C&NW yard while servicing the east side of the Appleton Coated paper mill at Combined Locks, WI on 31 Mar. '18. Founded in 1889 (some references state 1892) as the Combined Locks Paper Co., it became Combined Paper Mills, Inc. in ‘46 after it purchased a paper mill in PA. Acquired by the National Cash Register Co. in ‘69, it was merged with Appleton Coated Paper Co. in ‘71 to form Appleton Papers, Inc. Commonly known as Appleton Papers Locks Mill, it has been controlled by several different domestic and foreign owners over the years. It was separated from Appleton Papers in ‘00 and became Appleton Coated, LLC. Some of the rails were pulled up from this small yard in '13. All that remains is a runaround to access a pair of spurs for this side of the mill (out-of-frame to left) and a spur for the warehouse at right (that spur does not appear to be used much, if at all, currently). |

There are flashing blue lights on both sides of the driveway and a sign that says "Train in the area when flashing proceed with caution". The RR crew turns on the lights when they arrive. It looks like there used to be a RR crossing gates at both blue lights. |
