CN local passes beneath the historic Henry J. Rogers' home (a.k.a. Hearthstone) as it begins to ascend the grade up and out of the Flats with 36 cars via former C&NW rails in Appleton, WI on 2 Apr. '14. The Rogers' home made history on 30 Sep. 1882 when it became the first private residence to be supplied with electricity from the country's first hydroelectric central power station using the Edison system. The home is now a museum. Local was heading back to the yard at Appleton Junction after servicing Kimberly, Combined Locks and eastern Appleton. The historic Atlas Paper Co. mill, completed in 1878 and now home to the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame and Paper Discovery Center, is visible in the background.
