WSOR 3804         
At Pickett, the WSOR reinstalled this section of track that had been pulled up many years ago. The old track was used to serve a canning plant that changed hands numerous times. I think it was a Chiquita plant last, before it was closed and production shifted to Ripon in what is now a Seneca facility on a section of former CNW rail. WSOR laid this section in preparation to serve American Colloids, which was moving into the building. This never really took off and American Colloids moved out. The building is now used by Quality Protective Coatings. They use the facility to perform contract work for Oshkosh Corporation. The track is used for storage, usually of DODX cars.

T. P. Bruss General It's always a good day when they re-install former rails. Nice view and interesting variety of rail cars there. 5/13/2014 3:45:42 AM
