CN 9473
Title:  CN 9473
Description:  A CN local parallels and crosses S. Whitman Ave. as it shoves along the track which connects the former SOO yard (behind me) to the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. An old caboose is partially visible at right. It is painted as RI 17177. Some references claim it was not their caboose, but MILW. The sign for Foremost is visible at left. They have a spur, but it has not been used for quite a while.

CN 9473
Title:  CN 9473
Description:  A CN local crosses S. Whitman Ave. as it heads northwest along the north leg of the wye at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. They will pull up far enough to clear the turnout which allow them to shove along the west leg of the wye so they can eventually spot their string of cars at the southwest end of the yard.
