CN ore train approaches W. Forest Ave. as it crosses N. Water St. and crosses the Neenah Channel of the Fox River via the former joint MILW/SOO bridge at Neenah, WI on 8 Jan. '15. The head of the train is crawling over a mile through Neenah and into Menasha far enough for the train to clear the turnout at the east end of the wye. The train would then take the east leg of the wye into the yard, before eventually continuing on toward its destination. The building in the background, the corporate headquarters of Plexus, stands on the site of the former Glatfelter Paper mill (formerly Bergstrom Paper, originally Winnebago Paper), which stood for well over a century (the oldest part of the original mill was constructed in 1874) until it was torn down a few years ago.

Richard Hopfensperger General Great winter scene. The old mill had more character, but that back drop isn't too bad. 1/11/2015 11:44:47 AM
