GTW 6226 and CN 9530 |
| Description: |
A CN local parallels Thilmany Rd. as it services the Expera Specialty Solutions paper mill via former C&NW rails at Kaukauna, WI on 26 Sep. '18. The small shed at left looks like a scale house. Founded as the American Pulp & Paper Co. in 1883, it became Thilmany Pulp & Paper Co. in ‘89 after Oscar Thilmany bought out his partners and renamed it. It became Expera Specialty Solutions on 26 Jun. 2013, after KPS Capital Partners, LP, acquired it and Wausau Specialty Papers. |

GTW 6226 and CN 9530 |
| Description: |
A CN local crosses what used to be Stribley Rd. as it services the Expera Specialty Solutions paper mill via former C&NW railr at Kaukauna, WI on 26 Sep. '18. At right, the mill's Rail King Model RK330 G4 Mobile Railcar Mover will soon extract a cut of cars which will be taken away by the local. Founded as the American Pulp & Paper Co. in 1883, it became Thilmany Pulp & Paper Co. in ‘89 after Oscar Thilmany bought out his partners and renamed it. It became Expera Specialty Solutions on 26 Jun. 2013, after KPS Capital Partners, LP, acquired it and Wausau Specialty Papers. This portion of what used to be Stribley Rd. is now just a driveway to the trailer storage lot. It appears.that the remnants of Stribley Rd. and Thilmany Rd. will now just be referred to as the latter (at least there are not any street signs to indicate otherwise). Portions of both roads were altered or removed during the destruction of the majority of the original Thilmany complex and simultaneous restoration of the oldest part of that facility (the Eagle Paper"& Flouring Mill) in 2013 (behind me). |

| Description: |
TPPX 70117 woodchip gondola was one of a cut of cars being positioned for pick up by a CN local at the Expera Specialty Solutions (originally Thilmany Pulp and Paper Co.) paper mill (out-of-frame to the right) via former C&NW rails at Kaukauna, WI on 26 Sep. '18. At the middle of this side, someone has added a critique of someone else's welding skills since the last time I photographed this side (see inset). |

| Description: |
A CN local prepares to service the Ahlstrom-Munksjö NA Specialty Solutions, LLC, Thilmany Mill via former C&NW rails at Kaukauna, WI on 26 Oct. '19. The paper mill was founded as the American Pulp & Paper Co. in 1883. It became Thilmany Pulp & Paper Co. in 1889, after Oscar Thilmany bought out his partners. It became Expera Specialty Solutions on 26 Jun. 2013, after KPS Capital Partners, LP, acquired it and Wausau Specialty Papers. It was acquired by Finland’s Ahlstrom-Munksjö on 10 Oct. ’18. The former C&NW bridge spans the Fox River in the foreground, it was built by American Bridge Co. of New York in 1911. The mill's Rail King can be seen near the center of the photograph. Looking northeast from what was, until recently, Thilmany Rd. It appears that the remnants of Stribley Rd. and Thilmany Rd. will now just be referred to as the latter (at least there are not any street signs to indicate otherwise). Portions of both roads were altered or removed during the destruction of the majority of the original Thilmany complex and simultaneous restoration of the oldest part of that facility (the Eagle Paper & Flouring Mill) in 2013 (out-of-frame to the left). |

GTW 4912 and GTW 5846 |
| Description: |
A CN local passes the former C&NW depot at Kaukauna, WI, on 17 Apr. '22. 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 was once known as the north side depot, as opposed to the MLS&W south side depot. That large, ornate depot disappeared many years ago. I couldn't shoot through the fence at this angle, so I had to hold my camera above the fence and spray and pray. |

| Description: |
A CN local crosses the Fox River Navigation Canal via the former C&NW swing bridge at Kaukauna, WI, on 24 Apr. '22. Kaukauna Lock 2, historically Lock No. 6, counting from Green Bay, is partially visible to the right. The Warren pony truss bridge was built in 1893, according to http://bridgehunter.com (another reference states 1901). The Ahlstrom-Munksjö NA Specialty Solutions, LLC, Thilmany Mill looms in the background. Founded as the American Pulp & Paper Co. in 1883, it became Thilmany Pulp & Paper Co. (a.k.a. Thilmany, LLC or Thilmany Papers) in 1889, after Oscar Thilmany bought out his partners. It became Expera Specialty Solutions on 26 Jun. 2013, after KPS Capital Partners, LP, acquired it and Wausau Specialty Papers. It was acquired by Finland’s Ahlstrom-Munksjö on 10 Oct. ’18. The rehabilitation of the Kaukauna locks was completed in '15. The bridge was also rehabilitated in order to swing again. This view of the bridge was previously off limits. I wasn't sure if I was permitted to be here or not. I had heard that this was going to become a public recreation trail, but I don't know if it is officially open to the public yet. The fence gates have been removed, and I saw other people passing through, so I took that as a sign that the public was welcome. |
