AEX 15552, ex-C&NW |
| Description: |
A worn, former C&NW covered hopper, now AEX 15552, in a CN local crossing N. Lake St. as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 17 Mar. '14. Some of the old road numbers are partially visible, 3496; old number may have been C&NW 173496. There were 3 former C&NW covered hoppers in this train, but this one seemed the most unique. |

GTW 4934 |
| Description: |
CN local prepares for the short trip back to the former SOO yard after spotting about 4 or 5 covered hoppers at Galloway Co. via former C&NW rails at Neenah, WI on 17 Mar. '14. These rails used to be the C&NW mainline through Neenah and Menasha, but now end just short of S. Commercial St. at Galloway Co. The facility was started in ‘27 at 601 S. Commercial St. as Neenah Milk Products; Galloway took it over in ‘55. The portion of the facility you see is relatively recent addition built over the original ROW after portions of the C&NW main line were torn up. The older parts of the factory are out of frame on the right. |

GTW 4934 |
| Description: |
CN local passes Kimberly-Clark Corp., Neenah Nonwovens Facility, as it makes the short trip back to the former SOO yard after servicing Galloway Co. via former C&NW rails at Neenah, WI on 17 Mar. '14. These rails are part of the remnants of the C&NW mainline through Neenah and Menasha. I’m not sure if this facility receives rail service or not. It definitely used to because has 3 indoor spurs at the southwest end of the building. These covered hoppers are stored on the remnants of a small staging yard C&NW used to service several customers on this end of town (the remnants of one of the turnouts can be seen in the foreground). |

CSX 8619 |
| Description: |
CN through freight traverses the S-curve at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 19 Mar. '14. Train was headed from Stevens Point to Green Bay, so it was slowing to stop, halt for a few minutes, and then reverse direction to take the line to Green Bay. Train had two locomotives; CSX 8619 was pulling, and soon to be pushing. I did not see the locomotive that was pushing and about to become the lead unit after the train reversed direction. The pile of scrap visible to the left of the locomotive rests atop the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. It 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. |
