A CN local heads southwest via the former joint MILW/SOO rails at Menasha, WI on 27 May '18. Locomotive is just coming off of the swing bridge over the Fox River Navigation Canal and is crossing one of four diamonds which remain on this mostly industrial island (formed when the canal was excavated). Local was headed back to Neenah. The facility which dominates the scene is currently home to Simply Incredible Foods, 198 River St., Menasha, WI. They purchased the defunct Menasha Municipal Utilities plant in Jun. '14. The track in the foreground originates at the former C&NW main line (behind me) and is used to service U.S. Paper Mills Corp. on Washington St. |
