GTW 4910 idles away on the edge of the CN, former C&NW and SOO, yard while CN 4100 services the immense Verso Corp. paper mill (historically Consolidated Papers), mostly just out of frame to the left and right, via former GB&W rails at Wisconsin Rapids, WI on 4 Jul. '17. C&NW and SOO had parallel yards here, approximately 4 tracks each ca. 1973. Both roads used to cross the GB&W just out of frame to the right. A junction of the MILW and GB&W was close to where CN 4100 rests. This portion of Wisconsin Rapids, formerly Grand Rapids, was known as West Rapids, shortened to Westrap on some old maps and railroad documents. The over pass is 4th Ave. N./Hwy. 13/Hwy. 34. |
