Dates:3/20/2015 - 6/20/2015
Album Info:Most of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the spring of 2015, so they are mostly CN operating on former C&NW, GB&W, MILW, and SOO rails. Once in a while I try to catch ELS and WSOR on former MILW rails too.

Description:  CN through freight passes under the Main St. overpass while an old, formerly rail-served industry on Union St. is being dismantled at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 7 Apr. '15. I don't know what its last primary function was, but it was labeled as an ice house on the 1913 Sanborn map. The parking lot on the left is where the depot stood. The SOO/WC depot was built on the north side of Sherry St. on the east side of the tracks between 1891 and 1895. It replaced the ca. 1871 depot that stood at the west end of Wisconsin Ave. The Sherry St. depot was demolished ca. 1955 when a new depot was built between Main St. and N. Lake St. on the west leg of the wye, about 850 ft. to the northwest.

Description:  A Trackmobile Magnum 4250 TM appears toy-like as it shuttles flatcar loads of plate steel past the massive Briess Malt & Ingredients Co. facility at Manitowoc, WI on 16 Apr. '15. The facility is serviced by CN via former C&NW rails. Briess purchased the facility from Busch Agricultural Resources, Inc. in 2014, after it had been idle since 2011. It was started by the Rahr brewing family in 1847. They owned it until the Rahr Malting Co., a.k.a. Manitowoc Malting Plant, was sold to Anheuser-Busch in 1962. While the west side is still adorned with familiar Budweiser bottles and cans today, it was adorned with the Kingsbury beer logos when I was a kid.

Title:  IC 9571
Description:  CN local picks up some empty flat cars from the small yard adjacent to the massive Briess Malt & Ingredients Co. facility via former C&NW rails at Manitowoc, WI on 17 Apr. '15. Briess purchased the facility from Busch Agricultural Resources, Inc. in 2014, after it had been idle since 2011. It was started by the Rahr brewing family in 1847. They owned it until the Rahr Malting Co., a.k.a. Manitowoc Malting Plant, was sold to Anheuser-Busch in 1962. While the west side is adorned with familiar Budweiser bottles and cans today, it was adorned with Kingsbury beer logos when I was a kid. The tracks in the foreground are remnants of the small yard that used to service one of two car ferries that used to tie up at Manitowoc, the slip is out of frame to right. This particular ferry still runs, but it no longer carries rail cars across the floating section of US 10 between Wisconsin and Michigan.

WC 104
Title:  WC 104
Description:  WC 104 caboose on display at Smith Park, Menasha, WI on 24 Apr. '15. Built by Haskell & Barker Car Co. and delivered to the WC in Jan. '09. Numbered SOO 99079 while on their roster but restored as WC 104 when it was presented to the Menasha Historical Society by Leonard Murray, president of SOO, in Jul. '71, during 100th anniversary celebration of founding of WC at Menasha. The protective shelter, designed to mimic a SOO depot, was donated by George Banta, Jr., a Menasha industrialist and railfan. The dedication ceremony was held on 18 Jun. '72. The caboose received a recent facelift and will be rededicated on 16 May '15, hopefully it will be open for tours. The shelter originally had station signs with SOO logos on both ends, but those signs have disappeared. A nice plaque was also part of the original display, but has also disappeared.

Title:  CN 2812 and CN 5481
Description:  CN through freight is about to pass under the 2nd St. bridge as it heads southeast via former SOO rails at Amherst Junction, WI on 25 Apr. '15. The track for interchange with the former GB&W is rising in the background. This was a chance encounter, otherwise I would have attempted to shoot around the small tree growing on the embankment. While it is clearly visible in the photograph, it was not so visible in the view finder.
