Peculiar
Title:  Peculiar
Description:  A cut of cars spotted in a very peculiar location, the CN track which once enabled interchange traffic between the former C&NW yard (behind me) and the former SOO yard (in the distance) at Appleton Junction, WI on 24 Feb. '18. I had to photograph this scene just because it is one of those instances of railroad operations which leaves me scratching my head. There are 3-4 loaded TPPX woodchip gondolas at the far end of the cut of cars. Those cars are almost never dropped off at the Appleton yard. The train originates in Neenah, stops in Appleton to drop of some cars, and continues on to work Little Chute and Kaukauna. Once-in-a-great-while they will leave a couple of TPPX cars in the Appleton yard for some strange reason, but leaving them here makes no sense at all (at least not to a casual observer like me).
