Title:
GTW 4914
Description:
A CN train passes the FV&LS (or FOXY), former CN, originally C&NW, depot after setting out cars at the yard at Appleton Junction, WI, on 29 Dec. '24. Train was headed for Kaukauna. There used to be a diamond right about where the locomotive is, from ca. 1874 until at least 1968, where the MLS&W crossed the C&NW. When the MLS&W was absorbed by the C&NW on 1 Sep. 1893, their line became the Ashland Div. of the C&NW. The white building partially visible in the background is the former home of the Harry H. Long Moving and Storage Co., 1001 S. Douglas St. This building dates to at least 1953, when it was listed in the local directory (it was not listed in ’51). The building has a spur, but it hasn’t been used for quite a while (except for occasional MoW equipment). They moved to a larger facility in Town of Clayton, Winnebago Co., WI in 2001.

Description:
A CN train approaches Kampo Rd. (technically no longer Kampo Rd.) as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI, on 4 Jan. '25.

'25. This spot used to be named Fox River Junction, after several segments of the original C&NW main line through Menasha and Neenah were removed and a turnout was installed here which allows the bypass of missing C&NW rails by using former SOO rails.

A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses Hwy. MMM, formerly Hwy. 29, as it heads southeast with 2 cars via a remnant of the former C&NW main line at the Town of Richmond, Shawano Co., WI, on 31 Jan. '25. This is a rare, approximately 2-mile scrap of the former C&NW mainline which once ran 83 miles from Green Bay to Wausau (this is the only active remnant outside of those two cities). The rest of that former main line is now the Mountain-Bay State Trail. It is an awesome bicycle ride, but I (obviously) would prefer to see trains running on it.

Description:
A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses Hwy. MM as it prepares to switch Shawano Specialty Papers (div. of Little Rapids Corp.) via former CN, historically C&NW, rails at West Shawano, WI, on 31 Jan. '25. Founded as the Wolf River Paper & Fiber Co. on 7 Feb. 1894, the name was changed to Shawano Paper Mills ca. Nov. ‘49. The facility was leased to Little Rapids Pulp Co. (later Little Rapids Corp.) in Feb. ’50, they purchased the facility on 25 Jun. ’55. The name changed to Little Rapids Corp.-Shawano Mill in ‘93, but it was still commonly referred to as Shawano Paper Mill. The area around the mill, which includes some former company houses, used to be referred to as West Shawano. It was labelled as such in the '11 county atlas (Upham & Russell Cos. Plat and Riverview Addition), the '20 township map, and the name still appears on some official property records. The paper mill stands along an approximately 2-mile scrap of the former C&NW mainline which once ran 83 miles from Green Bay to Wausau (this is the only active remnant outside of those two cities). That former main line is now the Mountain-Bay State Trail. It is an awesome bicycle ride, but I (obviously) would prefer to see trains running on it.

A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses the junction with the former C&NW right-of-way, now the Mountain-Bay State Trail, as it heads southeast via former CN, historically SOO, rails at Shawano, WI, on 31 Jan. '25. The red brick interlocking tower that guarded the junction stood to the right, south of SOO tracks and east of C&NW tracks, until it was torn down circa 1995. I thought the tower stood by the clump of trees to the left, but a review of others' photographs on rrpicturearchives.net as well as some old maps has proven that my recollection of the tower's location was erroneous.

Description:
A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses W. Spencer St. as it pulls 8 cars south at Appleton Junction, WI, on 31 Jan. '25. I'm not sure who laid these rails, they formed an interchange between the former C&NW yard (out-of-frame to the right) and the former SOO yard (out-of-frame to the left). The FV&LS inherited both yards from the CN. The tracks form the border between Appleton (far side) and the Town of Grand Chute (near side). There is a simple memorial attached to the railing at the center of the bridge. Sadly, Betty Rolf was murdered here on 7 Nov. '88. Unsolved for nearly 36 years, on 21 May '24 Gene Meyer was convicted for murdering her.

A CN train approaches Kampo Rd. as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI, on 6 Feb. '25. Train had three locomotives, CN 3964 and CN 3851 pulling as well as CN 2820 mid-train. A remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, runs parallel to the right. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 dominate the background. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about a mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished.

AMTK 345, et al.
Description:
AMTK Train 8, ‘Empire Builder,’ crosses N. Spring St. as it arrives at the CP, former MILW, depot (out-of-frame to the left) at Columbus, WI, as it heads southeast on 27 Feb. '25. Train had two locomotives, AMTK 345 and AMTK 305. Consist included AMTK 61047, AMTK 39031, AMTK 32086, AMTK 32069, AMTK 38067, AMTK 34114, AMTK 38043, AMTK 34031, AMTK 31045, AMTK 32050. Designed in the Italianate style, it was constructed of lumber with brick veneer by the M&StP in 1871. When the current depot was built in 1906, this became the freight house. I don't know when the railroad stopped using it, but it obviously became part of the Caldwell Lumber Co. quite a while ago. The company, originally known as Mair and Caldwell, started when R. J. Caldwell and William Mair purchased the Brittingham and Hixon Lumber Co. The depot is currently used by Vita Plus.

CN 3850, et al.
Description:
A CN train crosses Washington Ave. and splits Broad St. as it heads southwest via former C&NW rails at Oshkosh, WI, on 27 Feb. '25. The former C&NW depot stands in the background. Built by the Chicago firm of Clark & Fuller in 1884 at a cost $15,000, it opened on 1 Dec. ’84. The depot was more ornate when completed, some of its interesting architectural elements have been removed over the years.

GTW 4901
Description:
A CN train parallels W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd. and crosses an apparently unnamed stream as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Stroebe, WI, on 28 Feb. '25. Stroebe is a railroad station in Fox Crossing, Winnebago Co., WI (formerly Town of Menasha, Winnebago Co., WI, from 1855 until 14 Apr. 2016 (not Outagamie Co., where Stroebe was erroneously placed on this site)). The approaches of the Roland Kampo Bridge (a.k.a. the Polish Connection) at the Hwy. 41/Hwy. 10/Hwy. 441 (a.k.a. Tri-County Expressway) interchange loom in the background. Modern maps tend to omit the W. from W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd. for some reason, it is also absent on the current street sign. Some old maps include the W., some old maps omit the W.
