GTW 6228 |
| Description: |
A CN local crosses the Fox River in Menasha on former Milwaukee Road/Soo Line right of way. The bridge in the foreground crosses the navigation canal to Little Lake Buttes De Morts. The island formed between the Fox River and the navigation canal still has some rail served industry. There are very interesting track arrangements on this island too. |

| Description: |
A view down the old Milwaukee Road right of way from Menasha to Appleton shows the 6228 switching the Orbis/MenashaCorporation plant on Earl Street. The view is from Menasha toward Appleton, there are currently four businesses with a spur on this line, north of the "wye" in Menasha. The wye is now missing it's north east leg and this line no longer goes to the Appleton industrial flats. The right of way now ends at R.R. Donnelley (Banta) on the north side of Midway Road. |

GTW 6228 |
| Description: |
After switching the Orbis/Menasha Corporation facility, the local returns towards the heart of Menasha thru the St. Mary's Cemetary. Ripley's Believe It or Not once had a piece about this being the only cemetary with a railroad running thru it. I wouldn't know if it is true, but I never saw another with rails. Oddly, the right of way was Milwaukee Road, which is now passed away also. |

CN local, a rare three unit train, backs across W. 2nd St. as it drops off a healthy string of cars at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 23 Jun. '15. Train had three locomotives, CN 4705, IC 3137 and GTW 6228. Local would then continue on to work Little Chute and Kaukauna, but they left GTW 6228 at the yard. Carter's Caboose is a small, rail side tavern just out of frame to the right. |

| Description: |
CN local approaches Racine St. while sorting cars at the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI on 16 Aug. '15. The facility at right is currently home to Alliance Industries, 320 Appleton St., Menasha, WI, 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. |

CN local crosses Appleton St. while working in the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI on 16 Aug. '15. If you ask me, we do not see enough crossing signs that say “5 Tracks,” or more, around here anymore. I imagine the railroad wishes that Appleton St. did not bisect this small yard. Up until about 30 years ago this street also bisected the similar-sized Milwaukee Road (MILW) yard that used to stand behind me. |

| Description: |
A CN through freight traverses the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 21 Nov. '20. The train is passing the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. There are rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties stacked upon it. It was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened. The Holiday gas station stood in this grassy area before the Main St. overpass (just out-of-frame to the right) was built. On the far side of the train 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. In the background, a large quantity of fill is being added to the eastern half of the park, in preparation of future improvements. The Fox Valley Energy Center (formerly Minergy Fox Valley Glass Aggregate Plant) dominated the eastern half of the landfill/park from its opening in Jan. '98 until demolition was completed in the spring of '16. Several of Neenah's repugnant, contemporary edifices taint the skyline in the background at right. I am not a fan of modern architecture, obviously. |
