| A 230-car CN ore train is about to clear N. Appleton St. as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails near downtown Appleton, WI (background) on 5 Aug. '14. Train had four locomotives, CN 2332 and CN 5551 pulling as well as CN 5611 and CN 8921 pushing. There used to be a lot of rail activity along this stretch. Where this solitary track is, there were once seven. The C&NW freight house used to stand on the other side of the tracks, behind the trailing locomotive. The passenger depot was one block to the northeast (left). |
