IC 9638 and IC 3107
Title:  IC 9638 and IC 3107
Description:  CN local crosses W. Prospect Ave./Hwy. BB as it heads southwest via former C&NW rails at Town of Grand Chute, Outagamie Co., WI on 31 May '14. Train was pulling up to clear a turnout so it could shove its string of cars into the far southwest end of the yard at Appleton Junction, after working Kimberly, Combined Locks and eastern Appleton. The locomotives would then head back toward the depot where they would park to await their next assignment.

IC 3107
Title:  IC 3107
Description:  CN local approaches the former N. Superior St. grade crossing as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 20 Nov. '16. The building behind the train is the former Furnishings Unlimited warehouse, 323 N. Division St. I don't think they were the original occupant of the building, but they were there for quite a few years. The facility used to receive rail service, but it hasn't for quite some time. The 1911 Sanborn map depicts three businesses occupying the approximate foot print of the current building, an agricultural implement warehouse, a furniture warehouse, and a stock yard. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna.

Title:  IC 3107
Description:  CN local crosses N. Lake St. past Eggers Industries, 164 N. Lake St., Neenah, WI, as it heads southeast via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 30 Jul. '17. 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. This facility is serviced by CN via former SOO rails.

IC 3107
Title:  IC 3107
Description:  IC 3107 works the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 17 Sep. '17. This view would have been prevented by the dominating silhouette of the original Neenah Foundry facility, later known as Plant 1, which stood here for over ¾’s of a century. Established in 1872 as Aylward Plow Works (a.k.a. Aylward & Sons) at 120 N. Lake St., they erected a new foundry at 500 W. Winneconne Ave. in 1918 “in a rural area of southwestern Neenah.” The name of Neenah Foundry was adopted in 1922. Expanded numerous times over the years, it became Plant 1 in 1960 when Plant 2 was constructed in the then rural area at the intersection of Byrd Ave. and the aptly named Aylward St. (followed by Plant 3 in 1967). Plant 1 was closed in 1994, the corporate overlords didn’t want to spend any money to update the plant. It stood abandoned for a while and was eventually demolished. Some turnouts rest on the ground on this side of the fence, either old turnouts which were recently replaced, or new turnouts about to be installed.

A water tower and other structures stood to the right. Remnants of the foundations on the right side are still in place, remnants on the left side were demolished in May of this year.

Wisely erring on the side of caution when they noticed the far signals activate, they realized that there was plenty of room to safely wait here until the local passed by. The Great Northern Corp. facility is partially visible in the background.

IC 9565 and IC 3107
Title:  IC 9565 and IC 3107
Description:  A CN local crosses S. Story St. as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 6 May '18. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna. The interesting, old commercial or industrial building at right is 302 S. Story St. It has a sign painted on its front proclaiming it The Train Station. I haven’t been able to find any relevant information regarding its historic or current use. The grass in the foreground was home to the historic Pierce Manufacturing plant that occupied this city block from 1917 until it was razed in 2011. This plot of land has been divided into lots for Habitat for Humanity and some homes have sprung up to partially obscure the view.

Title:  IC 9565 and IC 3107
Description:  A CN local approaches the former W. 8th St. and S. Pierce Ave. grade crossings as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 6 May '18. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna. The train would have been hidden behind the historic Pierce Manufacturing plant that occupied this city block from 1917 until it was razed in 2011. This plot of land has been divided into lots for Habitat for Humanity and some homes have sprung up to partially obscure the view.

IC 3107
Title:  IC 3107
Description:  A CN local pulls 12 cars west through The Flats via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 12 May '18. Train was headed back to the yard at Appleton Junction after working Kimberly and Combined Locks. The bridge crosses the last remaining scrap of what was once the South Channel of the Fox River through the Flats. South Island St. (which I was standing on) used to run parallel to the north bank of the South Channel. Old maps reveal that the west end of the South Channel was filled in at some point between 1916 and ‘57. Most of the remainder of the South Channel was filled in the following years. This remaining portion forms the confluence with a mill race which connects West’s Power Canal (a.k.a. West’s Canal, a.k.a. Grand Chute Island Canal) to the Fox River. Edward West bought Grand Chute Island and excavated the canal in 1870 to provide water power for the industries which were built soon after. Up until about 2010, everything beyond the train would have been obscured by the paper mill which stood there for over 100 years. The Kerwin Paper Co., a subsidiary of Riverside Paper Corp., closed in ‘05 or ’06. It was demolished in order to erect the hideous, modern apartment buildings, known as the Landing at Eagle Flats and Riverwalk Place, in ‘11-‘12 (both are just out-of-frame to the right). The white, concrete wall beyond the train is a remnant of the paper mill’s foundation. The bridge tender’s tower for the Lawe St. bridge over the Fox River Navigation Canal can be seen near the center of the photograph. The recently restored lock tender’s house can be seen background right.
