IC 9602 and GTW 4620
Title:  IC 9602 and GTW 4620
Description:  CN local passes L. C. Siding enroute to service Appleton Coated paper mill via former C&NW rails in Combined Locks, WI on 18 Feb. '14. I have long thought the station sign is wrong, but I haven’t found definitive proof yet. I presume that L. C. is short for Little Chute, which is on the opposite side of the river. Seems like the sign should be C. L. Siding, for Combined Locks. Does anyone have an old C&NW timetable handy?

GTW 5856 and IC 9602
Title:  GTW 5856 and IC 9602
Description:  CN local crosses Weimar Ct. as it approaches Telulah Park with 23 cars via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 11 Mar. ’14. Train was returning to the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction after servicing industries in Combined Locks, Kimberly, and Appleton. Usually all 3 members of the crew ride in cab of the lead locomotive, but occasionally, like today, one of them rides in the trailing locomotive. Maybe he wants a little more room to stretch out once in a while.

SOO 736, GTW 5856, and IC 9602
Title:  SOO 736, GTW 5856, and IC 9602
Description:  CN local passes SOO 736 as the former hauls 23 cars through Telulah Park via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 11 Mar. ’14. Local was headed back to the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction after servicing industries in Combined Locks, Kimberly, and Appleton. SOO 736 was donated to the City by John Mason Balliet. He also paid for construction of a temporary spur off the main line to get the locomotive into the park, as well as a fence erected later to deter vandals. The locomotive arrived on 14 Nov. '59. When asked why he did it, he said, "so that children would know what [a steam engine] looked like." He owned an insurance agency, but railroads were a hobby. He served as a director for Missouri Pacific, Michigan Central, Lake Erie & Eastern, and Pittsburgh & Lake Erie railroads.

Train was hauling 23 cars through the park via former C&NW rails and was returning to the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction after servicing industries in Combined Locks, Kimberly, and Appleton.

GTW 4914
Title:  GTW 4914
Description:  A CN local approaches Hwy. O as it heads south with five cars via former SOO rails at Mackville Station, Town of Center, Outagamie Co., WI on 15 Mar. ’14. Listed as Mackville Station on some old maps, distinguishing it from the community of Mackville which is 1-mile due east of here, it is listed as Mackville on some time tables. Some remnants of the depot’s foundation are protruding from the snow to the right of the base of the station sign. The station sign was stolen between 13 Jun. and 9 Jul. ’14, not long after I posted a photograph of it on this site. I presume it was stolen; I would think if the railroad had removed the sign they would have removed the posts as well. Both posts stood barren for quite a while. One of the posts still stands next to the track (as of Oct. '18), the other lies on the ground. Part of the passing siding still exists at right, it has been truncated at Hwy. O. What remains forms a spur which could be used to service Stainless Tubular Products (STP) (out-of-frame to the right). Train was headed back to Neenah after working Shawano.

Description:  A through freight, CN with leased power I presume, parallels W. Butte Des Morts Beach Rd. as it heads southwest pulling 99 cars via former C&NW rails at Milepost 211 at Stroebe, WI on 17 Mar. '14. Train was coming from Green Bay, not sure if it originated there or not. They are passing a long string of cars that had been spotted there for several days. Unbeknownst to me, a CN local was sneaking up, heading the opposite direction, along the former SOO rails parallel to, west of, this train.

EJ&E 663
Title:  EJ&E 663
Description:  CN local approaches Stroebe Rd. as it pulls onto the former C&NW mainline while heading northeast at Stroebe, WI on 17 Mar. '14. It is difficult to tell from this angle, but the train was crossing over from the former SOO main to the former C&NW passing siding at Milepost 211. Train had pulled onto the SOO rails at Shawano Junction to allow a through freight to head southwest via the C&NW main. Normally the local could have waited on the C&NW passing siding, but a long string of cars had been spotted there for several days (that string of cars is visible curving to the left in the background). Local was headed for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna.
