Viewing Album:  Northeast WI, Spring 2019
 
By:T. P. Bruss
Dates:3/20/2019 - 6/20/2019
Album Info:Most, if not all, of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the spring of 2019, so they are mostly CN operating on former C&NW, GB&W, MILW, and SOO rails. Once in a while I try to catch ELS and WSOR on former MILW rails too.

CN 3160 and CN 2914
Title:  CN 3160 and CN 2914
Description:  A CN through freight parallels Union St., passes the former Adams St. grade crossing, and approaches the former Monroe St. grade crossing as it heads south at the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 21 Mar. '19. It looks like they are preparing to replace one of the crossovers in the near future. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St. used to be the yard. I don't know when the current yard was built, but a map from 1909 shows the yard here. Adams St. was originally Washington St., until at least 1913. I'm curious to learn what Washington did to piss off the "great" City of Neenah.

IC 3120 and IC 9605
Title:  IC 3120 and IC 9605
Description:  The local power rests in front of the depot/yard office at the CN, former C&NW, yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 22 Mar. '19. I was excited to see a pair of Geeps parked here, because it has been a while since they needed two units stationed here. My excitement was short-lived, within a few days there was only one unit stationed here again. The locomotives rest on the yard lead. The north leg of the wye can be seen on this side of the locomotives.

CN 2279 and CN 2136
Title:  CN 2279 and CN 2136
Description:  A CN through freight passes the Main St. overpass and leans into the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 23 Mar. '19. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot are partially visible at left. The rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties rest atop the remnants of the foundation. The masonry depot was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened.

LMIX RG316
Title:  LMIX RG316
Description:  LMIX RG316 rests at Towmen Rd. on CN, former SOO, rails at Shawano Junction, WI on 23 Mar. '19. The headlights of a hi-rail can be seen in the distance. 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 (out-of-frame to the right) which allows the bypass of missing C&NW rails by using former SOO rails.

Description:  A CN unit train of autoracks parallels Union St. and passes the former Caroline St. grade crossing as it heads north past the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 24 Mar. '19. A CN through freight, dropping off and picking up cars, can be seen at left. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St., used to be the yard. I don't know when the current, significantly larger yard (extending southwestward from Winneconne Ave.) was built, but a map from 1909 shows the yard here.

CSX 3032 and BNSF 5312
Title:  CSX 3032 and BNSF 5312
Description:  A CN through freight parallels Union St. and passes the former Sherry St. grade crossing as it shoves a cut of cars into the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 24 Mar. '19. The historic Neenah Cheese & Cold Storage Co. facility, 434 Sherry St., is partially visible beyond the train at right. It was built in 1902 after the original 1892 building was destroyed by fire and is currently used for storage. The historic Murer House, 432 Sherry St., is partially visible beyond that. It was built by Felix Murer in 1892 and is currently home to Sherry Town Station. The WC (later SOO) depot stood on the opposite side of Sherry St. from those two buildings; it was built on the north side of Sherry St. on the east side of the tracks in 1891. It replaced the ca. 1871 depot that stood at the west end of Wisconsin Ave. The Sherry St. depot was demolished ca. 1955 when a new depot was built between Main St. and N. Lake St. on the west leg of the wye, about 850 ft. to the northwest. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St., used to be the yard. I don't know when the current, significantly larger yard (extending southwestward from Winneconne Ave.) was built, but a map from 1909 shows the yard here.

Title:  CN 2927, et al.
Description:  A CN unit train of tank cars approaches Fond du Lac Rd./Hwy. 45 while headed south via former C&NW rails at Oshkosh, WI on 30 Mar. '19. Train had three locomotives, CN 2927 and CN 2843 pulling and CN 3096 pushing. The lead locomotive is crossing a neat, old bridge spanning an apparently unnamed creek which empties into Lake Winnebago (just out-of-frame to the right). Like many of the C&NW bridges in the area, the abutments were built wide enough to support two tracks. Some maintenance of the bridge is in progress.
