A boatload of 3-bay covered hoppers recently appeared at the CN, former SOO, yard at the intersection of N. Linwood Ave. at W. College Ave. at Appleton, WI on 7 Nov. '18. It's rare to see this many cars in this yard (these days it's pretty rare to see any). Some of these cars were destined for Center Valley, some may have been destined for Shawano as well. There is an interchange track connecting this yard to the nearby former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction. Centerbeam flatcars are spotted on the team track here periodically. Konz Wood Products is one customer that receives lumber here. |
