| A CN local passes behind the depot/yard office at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 27 Jun. '19. Train was headed for Kimberly and Combined Locks via a remnant of the MLS&W main line which once ran from Milwaukee to Ashland. The white building behind the depot/yard office is the former home of the Harry H. Long Moving and Storage Co., 1001 S. Douglas St. This building dates to at least 1953, when it was listed in the local directory (it was not listed in ’51). The building has a spur, but it hasn’t been used for quite a while (except for occasional MoW equipment). Now called Harry H. Long Moving Storage & Express, Inc., the company, founded in 1917, is still family owned. It moved to a larger facility in Town of Clayton, Winnebago Co., WI in 2001. |
