A view looking railroad "west" in Oshkosh, WI along the former Soo Line R.o.W. This small yard is nestled between Wittman Airfield and Oshkosh Corporation. The track with the brush growing between the rails was once a passing siding to the mainline which was the track which everything else branches from.The line, which used to run through Oshkosh, winding it's way through downtown, is now truncated short of 20th Avenue. The red flags are visible in the photo. This site is now part of the CN system and has circus style railloading facilities rarely used by Oshkosh Corp. or any one else. The Soo Line had an engine house on the other side of 20th Avenue in years past. The building is now gone. |
