| A CN local parallels 4th St. and approaches Racine St. while it works in the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI on 16 Nov. '18. A couple of blocks away, a train returning from Hilbert waits to pass through on its way back to Neenah. The facility in the background is currently home to Alliance Industries, 320 Appleton St., they apply powder coatings and manufacture sand cores. Founded at Waupaca, WI in 1979, they leased this facility in 2005. They later purchased the facility as well as the adjacent one at 313 Appleton St. The facility was home to Menasha Mill Supply Co. from at least 1939 through the 1970s, they primarily processed waste paper. It clearly used to receive rail service, but it does not seem to currently. The former MILW yard was located on the other (south) side of it; the building could be serviced by both railroads simultaneously. |
