IC 9563
Title:  IC 9563
Description:  A CN local passes Intertape Polymer Group, IPG, 741 4th St., as it heads east via the former joint MILW/SOO rails at Menasha, WI, on 9 Oct. '20. Founded in Menasha in Dec. 1917 as George Banta Paper Co., an affiliate of the George Banta Publishing Co. They merged with Menasha’s Gebrick Paper Co. in ’19 and continued under the Banta name. The name was changed to Central Paper Products Co. (later shortened to Central Paper Co.) ca. Sep. ’20, about the same time they moved to their new location at 422 Manitowoc St. on the north side of the joint MILW/SOO tracks. It’s the same facility, but the address changed when a portion of Manitowoc St. was vacated to allow westward expansion ca. ’76-’80. The facility was acquired by Alco Standard Corp., based in Valley Forge, PA, ca. 29 Sep. ’69 but continued to operate as Central Paper. The name changed to Central Products Co. at some point after ’74. Spinnaker Industries, Inc. purchased Central Products Co. from Alco ca. 1 Jul. ‘95. Intertape Polymer Group, Inc., from Canada, purchased Central Products from Spinnaker ca. 12 Apr. ’99. They receive rail service from the other end of the facility, but they, obviously, do not currently receive service from this end. Local was headed for Hilbert.

IC 9563 and GTW 4910
Title:  IC 9563 and GTW 4910
Description:  A CN local slowly bisects the intersection of W. College Ave./Hwy. 125 with S. Memorial Dr./N. Richmond St./Hwy. 47 as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI, on 5 Mar. '22. Railroad employees have to flag the crossing and the crew has to sound their horn because the signals have been malfunctioning for several weeks. The CN has attempted to repair the signals but they haven't been able to locate the problem. According to an article in the Post-Crescent on 27 Feb. '22, "The only remaining remedy is for the railway to completely replace the crossing, including all of the foundation materials. That work cannot happen until the ground thaws and the hot-mix asphalt plants open in late April or early May." The interesting brick building partially visible to the left is Good Company, a restaurant established in 1980. It was built between 1895 and ‘01 by the Marshall Paper Co. (a.k.a. Marshall Bros. Wholesale Paper or Marshall Bros. Paper), founded in ‘93. The last surviving partner retired in 1942. The facility was used for a warehouse by Kimberly-Clark (K-C) from at least ‘45 to at least ‘60. It was home to Appleton Furniture Mart ca. ‘74 to ‘77. Baxter’s Beef and Pizza Co. opened here in ‘77.

A Long L523
Title:  A Long L523
Description:  IC 9563 (GP38-2) and CN 9515 (GP40-2LW) lead a unusually long northbound L523 along the main at Strobe Siding in Fox Crossing, WI. I believe the length is due to interchange traffic bound for the FOXY at the former CNW/CN yard in Appleton yard.
