IC 9562
Title:  IC 9562
Description:  A local which serves Little Chute and Kaukauna, working out of Neenah, is on a bridge spanning the Fox River to switch Expera Specialty Solutions. The mill has an in plant crew with a modern high rail to switch inside the mill, but the local will make the swap of outgoing for incoming cars.The old building to the right is one of the original Thilmany Paper buildings. The original plant, started in 1883, is no longer being used by the company, much of it has been razed. Fortunately, this old building is being saved for it's historic significance to the city and will find a new use. The C&NW bridge the train is on used to connect the C&NW lines on both sides of the river. The line on the south side ran from Appleton to Manitowoc via Kaukauna. The line now ends at the Apvion mill in Combined Locks. All the track on the south side of the river in Kaukauna has been removed.

GTW 5854
Title:  GTW 5854
Description:  After swapping cars at the Expera Specialty Solutions (formerly Thilmany Paper) mill, the CN local to kaukauna from Neenah climbs back uphill from the Fox River to get back to the mainline. Along the way upgrade, the train crosses an old CNW swing bridge across a navigational canal for the Fox River. The canal was out of service and dry for many years, but the locks and navigation system were all re-opened from Green Bay to Lake Winnebago in the fall of 2015. Shortly thereafter, the last lock to Lake Winnebago was closed due to an invasive species of fish being found below the lock.

IC 9562 and GTW 5854
Title:  IC 9562 and GTW 5854
Description:  CN local crawls onto the former C&NW bridge over the Fox River as it services Expera Specialty Solutions (out of frame to left) at Kaukauna, WI on 11 Aug. '15. Bridge was built by American Bridge Co. of New York in 1911. The rails used to run past the red flag at the end of the bridge to the C&NW's Kaukauna yard, shops and round house. A line also branched off to go to Manitowoc. From its founding in 1883 until 26 Jun. '13, the Kaukauna paper mill was Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co. (a.k.a. Thilmany, LLC or Thilmany Papers). The rubble behind the snow fence is remnants of the old Thilmany mill, which was mostly demolished in 2013. Part of the original mill was saved and will be restored.

GTW 5854
Title:  GTW 5854
Description:  CN local crosses the former C&NW swing bridge over the Fox River Navigation Canal at Kaukauna, WI on 11 Aug. '15. The Warren pony truss bridge was built in 1893, according to http://bridgehunter.com. I suspect the metal components in the foreground might be for repairs to the bridge. The rehabilitation of the Kaukauna locks is nearly complete and they are scheduled to reopen in a couple of weeks (they haven't been opened since 1984), which means the bridge will need to swing again. The local has just finished servicing Expera Specialty Solutions, originally Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co., and must now ascend a significant grade back up to the main line.

GTW 5836
Title:  GTW 5836
Description:  CN local passes the former C&NW depot after servicing Expera Specialty Solutions at Kaukauna, WI on 27 Dec. '16. The depot was built in 1947 at the intersection of Depot St. and Draper St. to replace the old, wooden depot. Designed in the Art Moderne style, it originally had flat roofs. The current gabled roofs were added at some point after 1983. It became known as the north side depot after 1890, when the MLS&W, later C&NW, built their large, ornate depot south of the Fox River. That depot disappeared many years ago.

GTW 5850 and CN 4700
Title:  GTW 5850 and CN 4700
Description:  CN local momentarily fouls Thilmany Rd. while servicing the Expera Specialty Solutions (originally Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co.) paper mill on the banks of the Fox River via former C&NW rails at Kaukauna, WI on 27 Jan.

Portions of both roads were altered or removed during the restoration of the original Thilmany mill (out of frame to the right) and the creation of its new parking lot.

IC 3110
Title:  IC 3110
Description:  CN local approaches the former Thilmany Rd. grade crossing and the former C&NW bridge over the Fox River as it services the Expera Specialty Solutions (originally Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co.) paper mill at Kaukauna, WI on 28 Jan. '13. The train was too long to be shoved into the mill's stub yard all at once. This is the first half, the remainder of the train was still parked on the grade leading up to the main line for. Bridge was built by American Bridge Co. of New York in 1911. Train had two locomotives Illinois Central IC 3110 and CN 4704. Thilmany Rd. used to run past me up to Catherine St., but the course of Thilmany Rd. and Stribley Rd. were altered during the restoration of the original Thilmany mill (out of frame to the left). The road now curves to the left, underneath the lead locomotive, and it appears that the remnants of Stribley Rd. and Thilmany Rd. will now just be referred to as the latter.
