I’m not sure who these rails originally belonged to, the MILW, SOO, and C&NW all had access to this small industrial island for many years. |

IC 9605 and GTW 5856 |
Description: |
A CN local returns to the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 20 May '18. This view would have been prevented by the dominating silhouette of the original Neenah Foundry facility, later known as Plant 1, which stood here for over ¾’s of a century. Established in 1872 as Aylward Plow Works (a.k.a. Aylward & Sons) at 120 N. Lake St., they erected a new foundry at 500 W. Winneconne Ave. in 1918 “in a rural area of southwestern Neenah.” The name of Neenah Foundry was adopted in 1922. Expanded numerous times over the years, it became Plant 1 in 1960 when Plant 2 was constructed in the then rural area at the intersection of Byrd Ave. and the aptly named Aylward St. (followed by Plant 3 in 1967). Plant 1 was closed in 1994, it stood abandoned for a while and was eventually demolished. |

CN 4705 and IC 9605 |
Description: |
A CN local approaches Towmen Rd. as it prepares to transition from the former C&NW rails to the former SOO rails (in the foreground) at Shawano Junction, WI on 22 May '18. This spot used to be named Fox River Junction, after several segments of the original C&NW main line through Menasha and Neenah were removed and a turnout was installed here which allows the bypass of missing C&NW rails by using former SOO rails. Train was headed back to Neenah after working Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna. |

Description: |
A CN local traverses what used to be the west leg of a wye and approaches 6th St. as it heads north via former MILW rails at Menasha, WI on 24 Jun. '18. Local was headed for LSC Communications, Inc. (formerly RR Donnelley, originally Banta Corp.). LSC Communications was spun off from RR Donnelley ca. Nov. '16. WC 16 rests on a siding in the background. It was awesome to see a former MILW caboose on former MILW rails. The tank car and box car, background right, part of the local, rest on what was the south leg of the wye, former joint MILW/SOO rails. Sun Chemical Corp. is partially visible background left. |

Description: |
A CN local passes Dura-Fibre as it heads north via former MILW rails at Menasha, WI on 24 Jun. '18. Organized as the National Tractor & Machinery Co. at Chicago in 1916 (some references state ’18). They reorganized as the Uncle Sam Tractor and Machinery Co. ca. Mar. ’18 and moved to Menasha, WI ca. Feb. ‘19. They constructed a new 60’ x 125’ factory and 25’ x 40’ office building at 344 6th St. and erected 2 additions in ’20, with further expansion in ’22. The company reorganized as Wisconsin Automotive Corp. ca. ’23 in order to add automobiles to its line of products, particularly the Harris Six. They went out of business sometime between ’24 and ’28. The Neenah Shoe Co. occupied the plant in ’28. The Wisconsin Container Corp. was organized ca. ’31 to manufacture solid fiber and corrugated containers at this facility. The company was acquired by Menasha Corp. ca. ’69 and became their Solid Fibre Division. On 8 Feb. ’73, Menasha Corp. was granted a trademark for their “Grain-tainer” fiberboard grain doors for boxcars, but I’m not positive if they were made here or at another Menasha Corp. facility. Menasha Corp. sold the facility in ’04 and the name was changed to Dura-Fibre at some point. |

IC 9605 |
Description: |
A CN local backs along what used to be the south leg of a wye along the former joint MILW/SOO rails at Menasha, WI on 24 Jun. '18. Local has just pulled off of what was the west leg of the wye, after picking up a couple of boxcars from LSC Communications, Inc. (formerly RR Donnelley, originally Banta Corp.). They are preparing to pick up the remainder of their train, which they dropped on the south leg of the wye before heading for LSC Communications. The crude railing in the foreground marks the spot where a spur used to cross Tayco St. to serve what is now the Essity tissue mill. The mill dates to 1915 and was named Wisconsin Tissue Mills for the majority of its existence. It was a family-owned operation until 1977, when it became a corporate trading card. SCA bought it in 2001, they are the fourth corporation to control it in the last 41 years. They re-named their paper division Essity (a feeble combination of ‘essential’ and ‘necessity’) on 14 Jun. '17. |

IC 9605 |
Description: |
A CN local crosses the North Channel (Menasha Channel) of the Fox River via the former joint MILW/SOO bridge at Menasha, WI on 24 Jun. '18. Train was returning to Neenah after working Menasha and points beyond. This perspective would have only been obtainable with a boat, until the new Loop the Lake bridge opened to the public (the ribbon cutting ceremony for this and the similar bridge in Neenah was held 23 Jun. '18). I was thrilled that I was able to shoot a train during my first visit to the new bridge. The former Graphic Packaging International facility, originally Marathon Corp., 160 Washington St., Menasha, WI, can be seen on the south bank of the river in the background. The oldest part of the facility was built in Apr. '47 to manufacture cartons for food packaging. The land had previously been used for stave and lumber drying yards for Menasha Wooden Ware. The facility operated continuously until the end of '16, when Graphic Packaging International abandoned 228 hard working Americans by moving production out-of-state. The Coveris facility, historically Marathon Corp. (originally Menasha Printing & Carton Co.), 271 River St., Menasha, WI, is partially visible on the north bank of the river at left. The piers supporting the former C&NW bridge (also in use by CN) are partially visible under this bridge. |
