CN through freight crosses what used to be the N. Union St. grade crossing and is about to disappear behind the north side of the historic Tuttle Press Co. mill as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 13 Jul. '13. Train was enroute to Green Bay from Stevens Point and had two locomotives, CN 2608 pulling and CN 5343 pushing. The factory dates to 1905, it later operated as Artfaire and finally as Sulpaco West, Inc. For nearly a century this facility produced a variety of renowned specialty papers: napkins, table covers, tissue, craft paper, paper dolls, gift boxes, crepe paper, and especially gift wrapping paper, until Sullivan Paper Co. shuttered this plant on 27 Jun. ’02 and moved production to one of its other facilities in Mass. Since then it appears to have been used as storage for one or more local businesses. The historic Eagle Manufacturing Co. facility is partially visible on the left. It has since been demolished to make way for new apartments or condominiums. There used to be a diamond on the opposite side of the tracks and to the left, where two spurs intersected to service several industries in that block.
Yard power taking a break.
CN 5250 leads a westbound past the depot.

Trailing as 3rd unit out of 4, IC 6064 passes the guy with the camera by the level crossing. Funny, I though CN's black with a touch of red was bland. Corporate black probably never needs painting!
Shooting in the sun sucks. Here's CN 5430, CN 5343, IC 6064, and another CN unit heading westbound with a long consist approaching the crossing
