Viewing Album:  Northeast WI, Winter 2015
 
By:T. P. Bruss
Dates:12/21/2014 - 3/19/2015
Album Info:Most of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the winter of 2015, 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.

UTLX 664869
Title:  UTLX 664869
Description:  Obviously this train crew did not heed this sign. I get a kick out of this sign and mail box at the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI, as seen on 23 Feb. '15. This sign is a reminder of the grade crossing that was here before the W. Cecil St. overpass was built to cross the yard, it was opened to traffic on 20 Nov. '07.

BNSF 5846 and CN 2860
Title:  BNSF 5846 and CN 2860
Description:  CN through freight crosses the frozen Wolf River via the former SOO bridge as it heads southeast at Gills Landing, WI on 24 Feb. '15. The bridge was built as a swing bridge in 1894. A significant mechanical failure left the pivot inoperable from 2003 until the fall of 2011, when it was converted into a vertical lift bridge. According to bridgehunter.com, it “is likely the only vertical-lift bridge in the world with a center lift tower”.

CN 8950 and IC 2721
Title:  CN 8950 and IC 2721
Description:  CN through freight approaches River Rd. as it heads northwest via former SOO rails near Gills Landing, WI on 24 Feb. '15. Train was slowing to halt on the siding at Weyauwega. It was a chance encounter and I was in a hurry, otherwise I might have noticed the large shadow which was about to fall across the lead locomotive.

GTW 4928
Title:  GTW 4928
Description:  CN local crosses Millview Dr. with 13 cars as it approaches the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 1 Mar. '15. I don't know where the train had been working, but it was coming from the direction of Hilbert when I encountered it in Menasha a few minutes earlier. They are passing the partially demolished Fox Valley Energy Center (formerly Minergy Fox Valley Glass Aggregate Plant). Opened in Jan. '98, it has stood idle since 15 Jun. '13. The boxcar is passing under the remnants of the steam pipes that used to connect the energy plant to the Glatfelter Paper mill (formerly Bergstrom Paper, originally Winnebago Paper). The paper mill itself fell to the wrecking ball a few years ago, after occupying the site of this parking lot and several newer businesses out of frame to the right, for well over 125 years (the oldest part of the original mill was constructed in 1874).

CN 4705

There is a spur running into that open-sided structure behind the locomotive, but the current occupant, SERVPRO of Appleton, does not appear to receive rail service.

Title:  CN 2581, IC 1039, CN 2637
Description:  A trio of CN locomotives rest on a remnant of the former GB&W main line at Amherst Junction, WI on 7 Mar. '15. The bridge crosses Hwy. KK, which used to be U.S. 10. I am curious to learn why that many axles were halted there, on a truncated remnant of a former main line. I doubt they would devote that much horsepower to service Frontier-Servco FS, out of frame to the left.
