UP 7987         
A 120-car coal train parallels W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd. and approaches Stroebe Rd. as it heads northeast via CN, former C&NW, rails at Stroebe, WI on 20 Aug. '17. The black diamonds were destined for Wisconsin Public Service's Pulliam Power Plant, a.k.a. J. P. Pulliam Generating Station, at Green Bay, WI. Train had three locomotives, UP 7987 and UP 7173 pulling as well as UP 6368 pushing. The track that diverges to the right crosses over to the former SOO main line, also in use by CN. Stroebe is a railroad station in Fox Crossing, WI (formerly Town of Menasha, Winnebago Co., WI until 14 Apr. '16 (not Outagamie Co., where Stroebe was erroneously placed on this site)).
