| CN local passes near the last remaining diamond in Appleton, WI, as seen from the W. College Ave. overpass on 13 Oct. '17. The diamond forms the junction of two industrial spurs on the CN, former SOO, rails at Appleton Junction, WI. The facility at left is occupied by WOW Logistics and PODS Self-Storage, 1840 W. Spencer St., Appleton, WI. The other spur leads to R. Sabee Co., LLC/Draper Products, Inc./Circle Machinery & Supply Co., 1718 W. 8th St, Appleton, WI (out-of-frame to the left). Unfortunately neither spur has seen a revenue car for quite some time. The local is traversing a track which formed an interchange with the C&NW and leads to their yard at Appleton Junction, WI. The track on the right is the former SOO main line, which descends a grade to pass under W. Spencer St. and the former C&NW main line. |
