CN 9473 |
| Description: |
A CN local works in the former SOO yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. Local was servicing Presto Products Co., 670 N. Perkins St., Appleton, WI (physically located in Grand Chute, WI). The former SOO main line is hidden beyond the overgrowth at left and passes under the former C&NW main line about 400' behind me and to the left (southwest). The track running past me served as an interchange for the SOO and C&NW. The former C&NW yard is behind me. The SOO yard later served as an intermodal yard for the WC. The first turnout to the right leads to the last remaining diamond in Appleton (that I know of). The diamond forms the junction of 2 industrial spurs, neither of which, unfortunately, has seen a train for quite a few years. The second turnout to the right leads into the yard. |

| Description: |
A CN local pauses on the north leg of the wye at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. They have just pulled in from the track which connects the former SOO yard to this yard. They will now change direction to take the north leg far enough to clear the turnout which allow them to shove along the west leg of the wye so they can eventually spot their string of cars at the southwest end of the yard. The hi-rail MoW vehicle is CN or WC 177903. The tank cars are spotted for Quality Carriers, Inc., 700 S. Whitman Ave, Appleton, WI. They are located within the wye and transload materials from railroad tank cars, and the occasional covered hopper, to semi tank trailers. |

Last Remaining Diamond in Appleton, WI |
| Description: |
The last remaining diamond in Appleton, WI, as seen from the W. College Ave. overpass on 13 Oct. '17. The diamond forms the junction of two industrial spurs on the CN, former SOO, rails at Appleton Junction, WI. The facility at left is occupied by WOW Logistics and PODS Self-Storage. The other spur leads to R. Sabee Co., LLC/Draper Products, Inc./Circle Machinery & Supply Co. (out-of-frame to the left). Unfortunately neither spur has seen a revenue car for quite some time. The middle track formed an interchange with the C&NW and leads to their yard at Appleton Junction, WI. The turnouts at lower right are remnants of the former SOO yard. The tracks at far right are the former SOO main line, which descends a grade to pass under W. Spencer St. and the former C&NW main line. An old caboose is partially visible in the background. It is painted as RI 17177, but most references state it was not their caboose, but MILW. |

CN 9473 |
| Description: |
CN local pauses next to the station sign while working in the former SOO yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 13 Oct. '17. The depot stood a few blocks to the east, on a long spur that from the main line and along W. College Ave. into downtown Appleton. The depot was razed in 1970 and the spur was pulled up a decade or two after that (although the spur is still depicted on CN's interactive system map). Local was servicing Presto Products, partially visible at left. Founded in 1961, it is currently possessed by the Rank Group. Previous owners include the Coca-Cola Co., the Reynolds Metals Co., and Alcoa Inc. The facility at right has two indoor spurs, but the turnout leading to them has been gone for quite a while. Most of the large facility seems idle, but some portions of it appear to used by someone. The main line forms the border between the Town of Grand Chute and the City of Appleton for this portion of that often convoluted border. |

IC 3115 and CN 4721 |
| Description: |
A CN local bisects the intersection of S. Outagamie St. and W. Melvin St. (background left) and approaches W. 2nd St. while headed southwest past the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 15 Aug. '18. Train was headed back from Little Chute and Kaukauna and was slowing to halt in front of the depot/yard office. The rails leading to the left are the yard lead. Carter's Caboose, 1428 W. 2nd St., a small, old, rail side tavern, stands at right. It dates to at least 1930, when it was a soft drink establishment owned by Hubert J. Merkel and August F. Brandt (Prohibition was still in effect). By ’36 it was a tavern operated by Albert Giesen, owned by Mrs. Gletchen Merkel. By ’38 it was Bob’s Tavern, still owned by Mrs. Merkel. By ’67 it was the Junction Tavern, owned by at least two different people until at least ‘71. At some point in the ‘70s it became Pete’s Junction (possibly Palomino Pete’s Junction). It was called Netticoat Junction ca. the ‘90s (owned by Joanne M. ‘Nettie’ Nett). |

GTW 5856 |
| Description: |
The local power rests at its usual parking spot on the yard lead at the CN, former C&NW, yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 30 Sep. '18. I thought this might be the locomotive I saw a few years ago, on which all four number boards had a different font. However, after watching it move around on subsequent days, it looks like only the number board on the front at right is mismatched. The north leg of the wye is partially visible at lower right. |
