Title:  IC 9623
Description:  CN local backs across River St. as it services Coveris (formerly Exopack), 271 River St., via a remnant of the former C&NW main line at Menasha, WI on 24 Sep. '17. The building at left is the neat, old office of the idled Whiting Paper Co., 100 River St. The paper machines were shut down on 30 Mar. '16 after 134 years of providing quality paper products and living-wage jobs. Originally the Whiting and Gilbert paper mill, it was built along the Fox River Navigation Canal on the site of an abandoned dry dock in 1882 (1881). The company was a partnership of George A. Whiting and Theodore and William Gilbert. It became the George A. Whiting Paper Mills in ‘86, after he bought out the Gilbert brothers. The name was changed to George A. Whiting Paper Co. in ‘11. Much of the current facility was built after a devastating fire and explosion on 24 Aug. 1888. In Mar. '14, the 5th generation of the Whiting family sold the company to Tom Danz, who joined the company in 1999; the name was changed to Whiting Paper Co. When the closure was announced, he claimed the company could not maintain the sales volume needed to remain profitable. The mill produced matte board, scrapbooking and high-end art paper, and its unique Kona Paper, made from recycled burlap coffee bean bags. The George A. Whiting Airport, at the intersection of Airport Rd. and Appleton Rd. in Menasha, WI, was named in his honor because he donated $5,000 to construct the facility ca. the '20s. Reportedly, it was "Wisconsin’s finest and busiest airport" in the '30s. When the government decreed that there could be only 1 airmail port per county, they chose the airfield at Oshkosh, WI and the George A. Whiting Airport soon faded into history (except for the hanger, currently home to Kitz & Pfeil True Value Hardware).

Train was preparing to head back to the former SOO yard in Neenah after servicing several industries in the Twin Cities of Menasha and Neenah. Locals have to complete some interesting maneuvers to service industries on this small island as well as the adjacent Doty Island since most of the former C&NW rails were pulled up in Neenah and Menasha.

CN 9473
Title:  CN 9473
Description:  A CN local works in the former SOO yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. Local was servicing Presto Products Co., 670 N. Perkins St., Appleton, WI (physically located in Grand Chute, WI). The former SOO main line is hidden beyond the overgrowth at left and passes under the former C&NW main line about 400' behind me and to the left (southwest). The track running past me served as an interchange for the SOO and C&NW. The former C&NW yard is behind me. The SOO yard later served as an intermodal yard for the WC. The first turnout to the right leads to the last remaining diamond in Appleton (that I know of). The diamond forms the junction of 2 industrial spurs, neither of which, unfortunately, has seen a train for quite a few years. The second turnout to the right leads into the yard.

Title:  CN 9473
Description:  A CN local pauses on the north leg of the wye at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 29 Sep. '17. They have just pulled in from the track which connects the former SOO yard to this yard. They will now change direction to take the north leg far enough to clear the turnout which allow them to shove along the west leg of the wye so they can eventually spot their string of cars at the southwest end of the yard. The hi-rail MoW vehicle is CN or WC 177903. The tank cars are spotted for Quality Carriers, Inc., 700 S. Whitman Ave, Appleton, WI. They are located within the wye and transload materials from railroad tank cars, and the occasional covered hopper, to semi tank trailers.

Description:  A CN local crosses the Fox River pulling 13 boxcars via the former C&NW bridge in the Flats in Appleton, WI on 29 Sep. '17. It is actually two bridges side-by-side, the former MILW bridge is the nearest of the 2, its rails were pulled years ago. Train was headed for Kimberly and Combined Locks. The Atlas Paper Co. mill, 425 W. Water St., is on the left. Completed in 1878 and expanded over the years, it eventually became part of the Kimberly-Clark Corp. (K-C). The mill ceased operation ca. 1999, the year K-C donated it to the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame. After some of the additions were razed, the Hall of Fame opened its new home and its interactive museum, the Paper Discovery Center, on 26 Feb. ’05.

Title:  CN 9473
Description:  A CN local prepares to spot a boxcar at Luvata (originally Valley Cast, Inc.), 553 Carter Ct., Kimberly, WI, via former C&NW rails at Kimberly, WI on 29 Sep. '17. Valley Cast, Inc. (formerly Valley Cast Wire Co., a division of Appleton Wire), built this facility in Kimberly in 1989 to supplement their facility at 908 N. Lawe St., Appleton, WI (currently known as Luvata Appleton). The boxcar about to be spotted is NADX 11089, formerly GB&W, possibly originally P&W. There used to be sidings on each side of the main line here. As you can see, both sidings were removed about a year or so ago but the turnouts remain.

CN 9473
Title:  CN 9473
Description:  A CN local returns to the main line after spotting a boxcar at Luvata (originally Valley Cast, Inc.), 553 Carter Ct., Kimberly, WI, via former C&NW rails at Kimberly, WI on 29 Sep. '17. Valley Cast, Inc. (formerly Valley Cast Wire Co., a division of Appleton Wire), built this facility in Kimberly in 1989 to supplement their facility at 908 N. Lawe St., Appleton, WI (currently known as Luvata Appleton). There used to be sidings on each side of the main line here. As you can see, both sidings were removed about a year or so ago but the turnouts remain.

CN 9473
Title:  CN 9473
Description:  A CN local hauls 11 boxcars westward over Hwy. 441 (a.k.a. Tri-County Expressway) via the former FRVR bridge as it crosses the border from Kimberly into Appleton, WI on 29 Sep. '17. There was no bridge here until the expressway was constructed in the early '90s, completed Sep. '93. The tan building at left is Prolamina (formerly Coating Excellence International (cei)), 3621 E. Newberry St., Appleton, a rail customer. Train was heading back to the former C&NW yard at Appleton, WI after servicing Kimberly and Combined Locks. The vandalism was inflicted since the last time I photographed a train crossing it on 26 Mar. '14. I'm surprised at how long it stood unmarred.
