Viewing Album: Northeast WI, Fall 2019
By:
T. P. Bruss
Dates:
9/23/2019 - 12/21/2019
Album Info:
Most, if not all, of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the fall 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.

Title:
GTW 5812
Description:
A CN local works in the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI on 6 Dec. '19. The facility at right is currently home to Alliance Industries, 320 Appleton St., they apply powder coatings and manufacture sand cores. Founded at Waupaca, WI in 1979, they leased this facility in 2005. They later purchased the facility as well as the adjacent one at 313 Appleton St. The facility was home to Menasha Mill Supply Co. from at least 1939 through the 1970s, they primarily processed waste paper. It clearly used to receive rail service, but it does not seem to currently. The former MILW yard was located on the other (south) side of it; the building could be serviced by both railroads simultaneously.

CN 3210
Description:
A CN container train passes the W. Bell St. overpass and parallels Hwy. 41 as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 8 Dec. '19. Train had two locomotives, CN 3210 pulling and CN 3002 pushing. The through freight at right rests upon a remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible in the background at right. 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. Behind the locomotive you can see the spur which leads to the Menasha Corp. facility on Bergstrom Rd.

CN 3210
Description:
A CN container train parallels Hwy. 41, passes American Colloid Co., and approaches the Hwy. G overpass as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Snells, WI on 8 Dec. '19. Snells is now little more than a map dot in the Town of Neenah, Winnebago Co. A Post Office was established on 4 May 1876, originally called Snell’s Station, sometimes referred to as Snell’s Crossing. This once small, rural community included a depot, cheese factory, sawmill, school, and stockyard. It does not look like any substantial remnants of the community remain, even the station sign, erected after the depot was removed, is gone (it is not a station on the CN system map). Train had two locomotives, CN 3210 pulling and CN 3002 pushing. The through freight at right rests upon a remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding.

I was trying to duplicate the view in an awesome photograph on this site which was recently chosen as an Editor's Pick, http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2749619. The contributor (very deserving of the red ribbon) has labeled the location as Minneapolis, but I agree with one of the commenters who believes that the photograph was captured at Neenah. I did not get the angle quite right, plus I will need to try again when the sun is in a better position.

CN 3179
Description:
A CN unit train of tank cars passes the Main St. overpass and leans into the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 8 Dec. '19. Train had two locomotives, CN 3179 pulling and CN 3168 pushing. The north leg of the wye bisects the scene. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot are partially visible at right. The pile of railroad ties rests 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.

A CN local crosses N. Lake St. as it shoves a trio of boxcars northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 20 Dec. '19. Eggers Div. of VT Industries, 164 N. Lake St., an active rail customer, is partially visible at left. Founded at Neenah, WI, in 1910 as Hardwood Products Co., construction of the facility commenced in Oct. ’10. It was renamed Hardwood Products Corp. as a result of a merger with Mississippi Veneer & Lumber Co. on 20 Apr. ’22 (the latter company was formed by the same businessmen who founded the Neenah company). Eggers Industries acquired Hardwood Products Corp. in 1965 and renamed it Eggers Hardwood Products Corp. Eggers was founded by Fred W. Eggers at Two Rivers, WI in 1884 to make wood baskets used by farmers. They later started making plywood and other wood veneer products. The name was changed to simply Eggers Industries at some point. It was acquired by Holstein, IA, based VT Industries, Inc., on 2 Oct. ’18. There used to be 3 spurs to service the facility, now there is only 1. Clearwater Paper Corp., historically Kimberly-Clark’s Lakeview mill, 249 N. Lake St., Neenah, WI (physically located in Fox Crossing, WI (formerly Town of Menasha, WI, from 1855 until 14 Apr. 2016)), an active rail customer, can be seen in the background at right.
