Album Info:The photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the spring of 2014, so they are mostly CN operating on former C&NW, GB&W, MILW, and SOO rails. Once in a while I succeed in catching ELS and WSOR on their former MILW rails too.

GTW 4924
Title:  GTW 4924
Description:  CN local passes behind Whiting Paper Co., 100 River St., Menasha, WI, via the remnants of the former C&NW mainline at Menasha, WI on 30 Apr. '14. They were pulling up to clear the turnout that will bring them back on the rails to the right. The remnants of a spur for Whiting Paper Co. are on the far right and the remnants of a spur for the idle Menasha Utilities plant are on the left. Originally the Whiting and Gilbert Paper mill, it was built along the canal on the site of an abandoned dry dock in 1882 (1881). It became the George A. Whiting Paper Mills in 1886, after he bought out the Gilbert brothers (who then founded a new paper company with their father and another brother). The name was changed to George A. Whiting Paper Co. in 1911. Much of the current facility was built after a devastating fire and explosion on 24 Aug. 1888. The 5th generation of the Whiting family sold the company to an employee in Mar. '14. The name was changed to Whiting Paper Co. The mill produced matte board, scrapbooking paper, high-end art paper, and its unique Kona Paper, made from recycled burlap coffee bean bags. The paper machines were shut down on 30 Mar. '16, after 134 years of providing quality paper products. When the closure was announced, it was claimed the company could not maintain the sales volume needed to remain profitable, which seems to be the catch phrase of every 21st Century American corporation when they shut down any historic industrial facility.

Description:  CN through freight heads southeast via former SOO rails at Fremont Station, WI on 2 May '14.

This location is labeled Fremont Sidings on some maps and, technically, there are two sidings here. The passing siding is still used, but the industrial siding that used to serve at least three industries has not been used for years.

Title:  Abandoned Siding and Industry
Description:  A long idled industrial building on a long disused siding adjacent to the CN, former SOO, rails at Fremont Station, WI on 2 May '14. They are hard to see, but there are rails in this road and in the overgrowth next to this building. The station sign says Fremont and it is listed as such on CN’s system map, but the nearest point of the Fremont city limits is over 2 miles to the southwest, as the crow flies. This location is labeled Fremont Sidings on some maps. The passing siding is still used, but the industrial siding that used to serve at least three industries has not been used for quite a while. The station sign, in the background on the left, denotes the approximate location of the depot.

CN 2853, et al.
Title:  CN 2853, et al.
Description:  CN through freight rounds a curve and approaches Hwy. W as it heads eastward via former SOO rails at North Readfield, WI on 2 May '14. Train had three locomotives, led by a very clean and bright CN 2853. This community is easily confused with nearby Readfield, but the unincorporated community of North Readfield is distinct from the community of Readfield, which lies 1 mile due south.

CN 5657, CN 5542, NS 8342, and NS (?)
Title:  CN 5657, CN 5542, NS 8342, and NS (?)
Description:  CN through freight approaches Medina Junction Rd. as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Medina Junction, WI on 4 May '14. Train had four locomotives, including CN 5657, CN 5542 and NS 8342. The fourth locomotive was a former HLCX unit which has been temporarily hand lettered NS. I didn’t get a good look at, or photograph of, the temporary hand painted road number, but I think it may have been 3558, 3258, or 3358.

Title:  CN 5542, BCOL 4651, CN 8821, and CN 2007
Description:  CN ore train crosses the Menasha Channel of the Fox River via former joint MILW/ SOO bridge and approaches the junction with the former C&NW mainline as it crawls through Menasha, WI pulling 215 ore cars on 5 May '14. It pulled up as far as the swing bridge over the Fox River Navigation Canal, halted, then reversed to back into the former SOO yard at Neenah. Train had four locomotives, CN 5542, BCOL 4651, CN 8821, and CN 2007. I am left to wonder if there has ever been this much horsepower on this line.
