Viewing Album: Northeast WI, Spring 2019
By:
T. P. Bruss
Dates:
3/20/2019 - 6/20/2019
Album Info:
Most, if not all, of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the spring of 2019, so they are mostly CN operating on former C&NW, GB&W, MILW, and SOO rails. Once in a while I try to catch ELS and WSOR on former MILW rails too.

CN 2235 and CN 2637
Description:
A CN through freight halts along Union St. at the former Sherry St. grade crossing at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 26 May '19. The historic Neenah Cheese & Cold Storage Co. facility, 434 Sherry St., is partially visible beyond the train to the left. It was built in 1902 after the original 1892 building was destroyed by fire and is currently used for storage. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St. used to be the yard. I don't know when the current yard was built, but a map from 1909 shows the yard here.

CN 2865 and CN 2837
Description:
A CN unit train of autoracks parallels Harrison St. as it heads northeast past the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 26 May '19. The W. Cecil St. overpass (Timothy Hamblin Bridge) can be seen in the background at right. The overpass, erected to eliminate the grade crossing, opened to traffic on 20 Nov. '07.

CN 2244 and CN 2234
Description:
A CN through freight bisects the intersection of W. Franklin St. and N. Division St., as seen from the front door of the Post Office, as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 1 Jun. '19. A pair of tall buildings loom above the lead locomotive. The nearest and shorter one is AT&T Communications & Network Services, 221 W. Washington St. The taller one is the former Aid Association for Lutherans (AAL) building, 222 W. College Ave., erected in 1952. Since AAL’s successor vacated the building, it has become home to multiple tenants, and it has been bestowed with the unimaginative moniker of The 222 Building.

IC 3129
Description:
A CN crew sorts cars at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 1 Jun. '19. After finishing here, they will head for Kimberly and Combined Locks. The former Appleton Wood Products Co. factory, now part of the Miller Electric facility, is partially visible at right. Built in 1916, the walls include some nice, decorative brickwork (including cast or carved keystones depicting bowling pins above the windows), which Miller obscured with cheap metal siding at some point after they bought it ca. 1975. W. 2nd St. bisects the scene.

A CN local pauses short of S. Outagamie St. on the edge of the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 1 Jun. '19. They have just cleared the main line and entered the branch which heads to Kimberly and Combined Locks (a remnant of the MLS&W main line which once ran from Milwaukee to Ashland).

IC 3129
Description:
A CN local passes the intersection of S. Jackman St. and W. Water St. as it descends the grade into 'The Flats' via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 1 Jun. '19. Local was headed for Kimberly and Combined Locks. Now just a short branch line, this stretch of rail is a remnant of the MLS&W main line which once ran from Milwaukee to Ashland. The Atlas Paper Co. mill, 425 W. Water St., stands at 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. Over the past several years, I have notice that some misinformed individuals erroneously refer to ‘The Flats’ as ‘Oneida Flats,’ or some other variation. However, the historic, industrial heart of Appleton is simply ‘The Flats.’

CN 3169, et al.
Description:
A CN container train parallels Harrison St. (just out-of-frame to the left) and approaches Kampo Rd. as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 1 Jun. '19. Train had two, sequentially numbered, locomotives, CN 3169 and CN 3170. A remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding runs parallel to the right. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible in the background. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about a mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished.

CREX 1517 and CN 3828
Description:
After setting out and picking up some cars, the motive power of a CN through freight emerges from the north end of the former SOO yard to reassemble its train at the former Monroe St. grade crossing at Neenah, WI on 2 Jun. '19. Train had two locomotives, CREX 1517 and CN 3828. Remnants of the former Adams St. grade crossing can be seen in the foreground. Adams St. was originally Washington St., until at least 1913. I'm curious to learn what Washington did to piss off the "great" City of Neenah. The Winneconne Ave. overpass is visible in the background. The white building partially visible at right appears to still be in use by Neenah Foundry. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St. used to be the yard. I don't know when the current yard (a few blocks to the south) was built, but a map from 1909 shows the yard here.

CN 3229 and CN 3228
Description:
A pair of brand spanking new, and sequentially numbered, CN locomotives lead a unit train of tank cars approaching the Main St. overpass at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 2 Jun. '19. The Edward Smith Octagon House, 347 Smith St., stands at left. The house was erected between 1851 and 1854. Edward Smith, who operated a flour mill and had an early interest in the Neenah Paper Co., purchased the home in 1855. It is commonly referred to as the Hiram Smith Octagon House for some reason, Hiram purchased it from his brother Edward at some point. It has been owned by the Neenah Historical Society since 1993. The City of Neenah wanted to demolish it when the over-priced and over-budget Main St. overpass (out of frame to left) was built. Thankfully there were enough intelligent people around to save it.

It was built by Felix Murer in 1892 and is currently home to Sherry Town Station. The WC (later SOO) depot stood on the opposite side of Sherry St. from those two buildings; it was built on the north side of Sherry St. on the east side of the tracks in 1891. It replaced the ca. 1871 depot that stood at the west end of Wisconsin Ave. The Sherry St. depot was demolished ca. 1955 when a new depot was built between Main St. and N. Lake St. on the west leg of the wye, about 850 ft. to the northwest. The Main St. overpass is partially visible in the background at left. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St. used to be the yard.

(formerly Kimberly-Clark Warehouse (K-C Warehouse)), 135 Millview Dr. It does not receive rail service, but it looks like there may have been a spur on the northwest side of the building in the past.

First Presbyterian Church, 200 S. Church St., can be seen above the second locomotive. The clock tower of the once impressive 1888 city hall building, intersection of S. Commercial St. and W. Doty St., looks like a church steeple from this perspective, but it is a block east of the church. Several of Neenah's hideous, modern eyesores, posing as architecture, pollute the majority of the skyline.

GTW 5850 and CN 9486
Description:
A CN local crosses N. State St. as it heads southwest via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI, on 8 Jun. '19. Train was headed back from Little Chute and Kaukauna. The Non-mountable Curb Island (one variant of Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) approved traffic channelization devices) was installed last year as part of Appleton's quest for so-called 'Quiet Zone' status. The parking lot of the historic Flanagan's Stop & Shop is partially visible to the right, if you appreciate an excellent selection of liquor, beer, and wine. As I pulled into their parking lot, I heard a horn signaling the approach of this train. I was forced to photograph the train before going into the store to make my beer selection.

A CN through freight passes the southern Sherman Rd. grade crossing as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Town of Oshkosh, Winnebago Co., WI, as seen from E. Sunnyview Rd./Hwy. Y at Town of Oshkosh, WI on 9 Jun. '19. The CN microwave tower in the background also stands at the southern Sherman Rd. grade crossing; it stands between the former SOO main line and the former C&NW right-of-way, which runs parallel on the other side of the tree line at right. I'm left to ponder the reason for the unusual jog at the north end of this passing siding. Train had two locomotives, CN 3036 and GECX 2038.

IC 3138
Description:
A CN local pauses under the Main St. overpass on the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 15 Jun. '19. Train was preparing to head for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna. I'm not positive, but I believe the Holiday station stood right about here before the overpass was built.

GTW 6226
Description:
GTW 6226 traverses the east leg of the wye at the north end of the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI on 15 Jun. '19. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot can be seen in the center of the scene. The rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties rest atop the remnants of the foundation. The masonry depot was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened. The white building partially visible beyond the locomotive is, or was, Progressive Paper Storage, Inc. (formerly Kimberly-Clark Warehouse (K-C Warehouse)), 135 Millview Dr. It does not receive rail service, but it looks like there may have been a spur on the northwest side of the building in the past. The Fox Valley Energy Center (formerly Minergy Fox Valley Glass Aggregate Plant) stood to the left, at what is now Arrowhead Park, until demolition was completed in the spring of '16. Opened in Jan. '98, it stood idle since 15 Jun. '13. The P. H. Glatfelter Co. paper mill dominated the skyline in the background for 135 years, the oldest part of the original mill was constructed in 1874. Glatfelter purchased the mill from Bergstrom Paper Co. in 1979. Bergstrom had purchased the mill, originally Winnebago Paper, in 1904. Glatfelter moved the jobs to Ohio in June 2006, the mill stood idle for about two years until it was torn down, demolition was completed in May 2009. The corporate headquarters of Plexus, 1 Plexus Way, (out of frame to left), and an Ascension clinic (formerly Affinity clinic) at 101 Main St. occupy most of the site of the old paper mill. Neenah's newest, modern eyesore, the Gateway office building (also obviously used by Plexus), looms in the background. After razing some more cool, old buildings, construction commenced on 4 May '16 and was completed about a year later. There is no room for historic buildings and classic architecture in Future Neenah.

The local has just passed the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. The rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties rest atop the remnants of the foundation. The masonry depot was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened.

IC 3110 and GTW 5850
Description:
A CN local bisects the intersection of W. College Ave./Hwy. 125 with S. Memorial Dr./N. Richmond St./Hwy. 47 (probably the busiest intersection, consequently busiest grade crossing, in Appleton) as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 16 Jun. '19. The interesting brick building behind the train is Good Company, a restaurant established in 1980. It was built between 1895 and ‘01 by the Marshall Paper Co. (a.k.a. Marshall Bros. Wholesale Paper or Marshall Bros. Paper); founded in ‘93 by Simon and Samuel G. Marshall (father and son). It initially operated across Richmond St. at the Marshall & Hammel grain facility (Simon was a partner in that company) until the current building was completed. Samuel's brothers, Louis J. and Harry M., later joined the company, whose products included wrapping paper and printing paper. It used to receive rail service, the spur was on the north side of the building. That spur crossed Richmond St. and also served the Marshall & Hammel Grain Elevator & Warehouse, which stood where the Walgreen's parking lot is now. That spur included a switchback to service Fountain Lumber Co. (J. Fountain Lumber Co.), 129 N. State St., founded by John Fountain in 1897. Louis J. Marshall, the last surviving brother, sold the company when he retired in 1942. The facility was used for a warehouse by Kimberly-Clark (K-C) from at least ‘45 to at least ‘60. It was home to Appleton Furniture Mart ca. ‘74 to ‘77. Baxter’s Beef and Pizza Co. opened here in ‘77. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna.

IC 3129
Description:
A CN local parallels the Fox River and approaches the S. Memorial Dr. bridge as it descends the grade from the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI, down into 'The Flats' at Appleton, WI on 18 Jun. '19. Train was headed for Kimberly and Combined Locks. The Appleton Yacht Club and Lutz Park can be seen in the background. The former MILW right-of-way, granting it access to 'The Flats' from Menasha, runs along the opposite bank of the river. The line was abandoned in 1981 and the land has been reclaimed by nature, and the rich snobs who own the homes overlooking the river. About all that remains of this portion of that branch is one of the abutments for the MILW swing bridge that used to cross the river under the S. Memorial Dr. bridge. Over the past several years, I have notice that some misinformed individuals erroneously refer to ‘The Flats’ as ‘Oneida Flats,’ or some other variation. However, the historic, industrial heart of Appleton is simply ‘The Flats.’
