GTW 4928 |
| Description: |
A local switch job crossing the Fox River on former Soo rails. This area in Neenah was crowded with paper industry in the not too distant past. There is a Kimberly Clark facility to the left of the camera (photo is along their parking lot) but the rails that served it are torn out. Neenah Paper is about a quarter mile to the rear of the camera and this train may very well spot some of these cars there via the former C&NW line. |

| Description: |
After crossing the Fox River channel in Neenah, the CN follows former joint Milwaukee Road / Soo Line rail across Doty Island. The right of way run parallel River Street for a short distance as it crosses West North Water Street and Forest Avenue. At the lead end of the engine, one can spot the former Milwaukee and Northern (Milwaukee Road) Neenah depot on Forest Avenue. The train will cross the Fox River in Menasha once again as it leaves Doty Island. There used to be a few businesses to switch along this part of the line on Doty Island, but they all stopped using rail or closed. |

IC 3137 at U.S Papers / Sonoco |
| Description: |
This mill was once the John Strange Paper Company, organized in 1891. It was originally John Strange Pail and Tub Company, organized in 1881. Pail and Tub started to make paper in 1888. Around 1969, John Strange Paper became a part of the Menasha Corporation and was again sold off in 1981 to U.S. Papers. U.S. Papers then became a part of Sonoco in 2001. My earliest recollections of the mill start about at the time of the switch to U.S. Papers. Since 1981, the mill has shrunk in size and rail traffic has diminished. Hopefully the mill will continue to provide jobs for many more years to come. |

Still in Wisconsin Central colors, a SW1500 moves along the spur in to switch Menasha Corporation.This facility used to have a few spurs into it off this main lead, but all but this one have been removed. On the left hand side of the photo is a concrete loading dock, with a long gently sloping ramp for fork lifts to gain access to the railcars. This ramp does not appear to have been used for a considerable length of time. Menasha Corporation expanded the facility over 2016-2017. One hopes it means an increase in traffic for the rails. |

A lot of locals work out of this yard, though the traffic has diminished over the last couple decades as the paper mills are being lost to closure. Fortunately, there have been some new businesses come along to fill some of the void. |

IC 9625 |
| Description: |
Thirty five years ago, this was the Soo Line yard in Neenah. The yard was usually quite full and bustling with activity. The Soo seemed to be the most prosperous railroad of the three serving the area. (Milwaukee Road and Chicago and Northwestern being the other two) Naive thinking had one believe the Soo would be around forever. The Milwaukee Road was up for sale, and would be gone, but not the Soo. The CNW also figured to be around for a long to come. It was only a matter of less than ten years for all three to be gone. Of the two yards in town, only the Soo Line yard remains serving close to its original purpose. There are many less boxcars, and the Soo white, red and black a fading memory. Back in 1982, a teenage rail fan, took it all for granted and would have never imagined the CN coming in and absorbing it all. |

Gondolas full of shredded scrap metal are being sorted on the old CNW main which is now part of the CN yard in Neenah. The CNW ran parallel to the Soo Line here. The former Soo Line yard makes up the majority of the CN yard here. The CNW line in this part of Neenah ends about a quarter mile from this point, at an industry. These cars are most likely going to either Neenah Foundry, in town here, or to Waupaca Foundry. Waupaca is served by a turn which works out of Neenah. |

A CN local heading for the Plymouth Sub hammers the diamond as it crosses the former CNW mainline in Menasha. The CNW main line tack here is now an industrial spur used to service three customers. This CN local is on what was originally Milwaukee and Northern rails, later jointly used by the Milwaukee Road and Soo Line (WC). It is rounding its way through Menasha to head east to Hilbert, where it will most likely head onto the Plymouth Sub to continue its work. |

GTW 4907 |
| Description: |
Large, wet and heavy snowflakes are coming down as this CN local bears down on the Oneida Street grade crossing in Menasha. The train originated in Neenah and is heading for Hilbert to work the Plymouth Sub. This does not look like a good day to be a conductor on this run. |

FBOX 502486 |
| Description: |
A CN local swaps boxcars at LSC Communications located on Midway Road, Menasha. The facility was originally completed as a George Banta Company property. In 2007, RR Donnelley acquired Banta and then in April 2016 created LSC Communications which it then spun off on 1 October 2016. The George Banta Company was once a major employer in the Menasha area, this plant was switched routinely by the Milwaukee Road. |

FBOX 502486 |
| Description: |
A boxcar set on the side track at the printing/binding facility on Midway Road in Menasha. Once the crew of the local extracts the on spot cars, this one will be placed at one of the doors. This green space in front of the boxcar once held a glass enclosure displaying one of the George Banta Company's antique presses. Hopefully, it is preserved somewhere in the area. |

| Description: |
A pair of CSXT boxcars wait off spot along Tidi Products on the south side of Neenah. One does not see cars on this off spot location very often, so I assume the local crew was lurking about the area servicing the multiple industries located here. |
