Heading general direction south, out of Neenah. The track to the right was the former CNW line to Green Bay thru Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Neenah and the other Fox Cities. The CN train is running on the former SOO right of way. (Original Wisconsin Central) Both rights of way eventually ended up as part of the modern Wisconsin Central before being sold to CN.
