| CN local passes the station sign while servicing Presto Products, 670 N. Perkins St., Appleton, WI (physically located in Town of Grand Chute) from the former SOO yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 13 Oct. '17. Founded in 1961, it is currently owned by the Rank Group. Previous owners include the Coca-Cola Co., the Reynolds Metals Co., and Alcoa Inc. The depot stood a few blocks to the east, on a long spur that from the main line and along W. College Ave. into downtown Appleton. The depot was razed in 1970 and the spur was pulled up a decade or two after that (although the spur is still depicted on CN's interactive system map on their website). The main line forms the border between the Town of Grand Chute and the City of Appleton for this portion of that often convoluted border. |
