| CN local approaches the former Thilmany Rd. grade crossing and the former C&NW bridge over the Fox River as it services the Expera Specialty Solutions (originally Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co.) paper mill at Kaukauna, WI on 28 Jan. '13. The train was too long to be shoved into the mill's stub yard all at once. This is the first half, the remainder of the train was still parked on the grade leading up to the main line for. Bridge was built by American Bridge Co. of New York in 1911. Train had two locomotives Illinois Central IC 3110 and CN 4704. Thilmany Rd. used to run past me up to Catherine St., but the course of Thilmany Rd. and Stribley Rd. were altered during the restoration of the original Thilmany mill (out of frame to the left). The road now curves to the left, underneath the lead locomotive, and it appears that the remnants of Stribley Rd. and Thilmany Rd. will now just be referred to as the latter. |
