Viewing Album: Northeast WI and UP of MI, Fall 2018
By:
T. P. Bruss
Dates:
9/22/2018 - 12/20/2018
Album Info:
Most of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin (and a handful in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) in the fall of 2018, so they are mostly CN operating on former C&NW, GB&W, MILW, and SOO rails. Once in a while I try to catch ELS and WSOR on former MILW rails too.

Description:
A CN local crosses S. Nash St./Hwy. M (just out-of-frame to the left) and approaches the station sign as it heads northwest with six cars via former C&NW rails at Hortonville, WI on 2 Dec. '18. The depot stood a little closer to S. Nash St./Hwy. M than the station sign currently does. It is difficult to believe that there used to be five tracks here.

A CN local crosses the Wolf River via the former C&NW swing bridge as it heads northwest with six cars at New London, WI on 2 Dec. '18. I didn't notice a builder's plate, but according to bridgehunter.com, the deck plate girder bridge was built in 1892. Most of New London is in Waupaca Co., but this portion is in Outagamie Co.

CN 2940 and CN 2812
Description:
A CN container train passes the Hwy. G overpass and parallels Hwy. 41 as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Snells, WI on 4 Dec. '18. Snells, formerly known as Snell’s Station or Snell’s Crossing, is now little more than a map dot in the Town of Neenah, Winnebago Co. This small, rural community once included a post office, depot, cheese factory, sawmill, school, and stockyard. It does not look like any real remnants of the original community remain. Even the station sign, erected after the depot was removed, is gone.

After waiting for the CN container train from the previous series of photographs, a CN through freight crosses N. Lake St. as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 12 Dec. '18. Eggers Industries, 164 N. Lake St., Neenah, WI, a rail customer, is partially visible at right. Founded at Neenah, WI, in 1910 as Hardwood Products Co., construction of the facility commenced in Oct. ’10. It was renamed Hardwood Products Corp. as a result of a merger with Mississippi Veneer & Lumber Co. on 20 Apr. ’22 (the latter company was formed by the same businessmen who founded the Neenah company). Eggers Industries acquired Hardwood Products Corp. in 1965 and renamed it Eggers Hardwood Products Corp. Eggers was founded by Fred W. Eggers at Two Rivers, WI in 1884 to make wood baskets used by farmers. They later started making plywood and other wood veneer products. There used to be 3 spurs to service the facility, now there is only 1.

IC 3107
Description:
A CN local parallels 4th St. and approaches Racine St. while working in the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI on 12 Dec. '18. The facility at right 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. Intertape Polymer Group (IPG), 741 4th St., an active rail customer, is partially visible in the background at left.

Description:
A CN local approaches the Main St. overpass and traverses the east leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 14 Dec. '18. Train was returning from Menasha with 16 cars. The white building partially visible at right is, or was, Progressive Paper Storage, Inc. (formerly a Kimberly-Clark warehouse), 135 Millview Dr. It does not receive rail service, but it looks like there may have been a spur on the northwest side of the building in the past. The north leg of the wye can be seen to the left of the locomotive. Beyond that lies Arrowhead Park, a closed paper sludge landfill. Before the landfill was opened in the '50s, the south shore of Little Lake Butte des Morts came right up to the north leg of the wye. You can see that a large amount of fill is being added to a portion of the park in preparation of pending improvements.
