| Description: |
The CN 4924 is servicing Clearwater Paper (formerly Kimberly Clark) off to the left of the photo, while a CN stack train waits in the hole on the opposite side of North Lake Street. This small yard is used to sort cars for servicing the industry on the north/northwest side of Neenah,WI. The track is originally Wisconsin Central, then Soo Line and then the new incarnation of the Wisconsin Central before becoming part of the CN. |

GTW 4924 |
| Description: |
Having passed through one of Clearwater's buildings, the 4924 then had to cross North Lake Street to get to this point. Once the mill opens the door, the unit will move in to pick up four boxcars from within. The train will then run the cars back to the small industrial servicing yard, drop them off, and take more cars to the mill to replace them. |

IC 3138 |
| Description: |
The Canadian National switches the General Chemical facility in Menasha, WI. The industrial spur this is located on was once used to serve the Gilbert Paper Company mill in Menasha. Gilbert Paper was served by two spurs, the other spur came across from the other side of the Fox River, through U.S. Papers and served Gilberts and Banta Corp. Some of the cars spotedd at Gilbert Paper on that spur were on a trestle over the water. Milwaukee Road, Soo Line and Chicago and Northwestern could all be seen on the rails in this paper producing area prior to 1987. |

The Gibert office building can just be made out at the top of the yellow handrailing. The large brick building to the rear is one of the Banta Corporation facilities in Menasha. After R.R. Donnelley purchased Banta, they closed this facility. |

The Wisconsin Central increased the piggyback service here and brought in a piggy-packer. The CN discontinued intermodal service here in 2003. |

View from Cecil Street Overpass |
| Description: |
This is a section of Chicago & Northwestern's Valley Subdivision mainline in Neenah. The subdivision was from Fond du Lac to Green Bay via Oshkosh, Neenah, Menasha, Appleton etc. This line now ends here at the factory that covered hoppers are spotted at the end of the visible track. I do not know for certain about the three doors with track running into them. I think it is part of Kimberly-Clark. It looks like it could be an engine house, though I have my doubts about that. Perhaps someone can let us know. |

Activity South of the Yard |
| Description: |
A CN train waits on the fjrmer CNW main under the Bell Street overpass for clearance into Neenah. The cars in the middle of the scene are crossing over from former Soo Line R.o.W. to the former CNW R.j.W. Strangely, either the Wisconsin Central or the CN saw it fitting to remove a section of the CNW track between the cut of cars and the train under the overpass. Neenah Fourdry (formerly Neenah Foundry Plant 2) and Voith Paper Rolls are somewhat visible on the left. The track leading off to the lower left serves what is now a Bemis facility. Originally it was an American Can plant that changed hands a few times since The American Can/ National Can merger in 1987. In 1988 it became part of Pechiney then to Alcan in%2003. Alcan went to Rio Tinto in 2007 who then sold off the packaging business to Bemis in 2010 for $1.2 billion. With that acquisition, Bemis captured a 70% global market share in food packaging, up from 57%. Five years later, this plant is still running and receiving car loads of plastic pellets. |

Looking South Over the former Soo |
| Description: |
Looking south from the Cecil Street overpass. The track in the middle of the three on the right was the former Soo Line main. The former CNW main is on the left side of the frame, which has a few connecting tracks leadinf to it.Looking at the track work under the signals can leave one to wonder why some track arrangement decisions are made. Harrison Street runs along side the tracks to the right. |

GTW 4928 |
| Description: |
A CN local serving industries along what was once the main right of way thru the Fox Cities for the CNW. Ther crew is crossing Commercial Street in Neenah. The CNW's yard was right in this area with at least three tracks crossing Comercial Street. Currently only two tracks cross the road with only a few businesses receiving rail service to the 4928's rear. The middle section of the CNW route thru Neenah has been torn out, but businesses are still served on each side of town with access from the former Soo Line right of way. The yard that was here which the CNW worked out of to serve Neenah and Menasha has been stripped of about half of its tracks and now only serves to organize the local's cars for switching the industries reached from this point. |

GTW 4934 |
| Description: |
A GTW unit moves along an industrial spur towards the Washington Street grade crossing. The trees make it hard to see, but the unit is traversing between two old defunct rail served buildings to which the turnouts have been removed and mother nature is trying to reclaim. To get to this point, the crew has taken a turnout from the former CNW Neenah Yard on it's north end and ducked in behind the buildings. This spur used to go all the way to serve Gilbert Paper Comany but now only serves the former General Chemical facility. I noticed the General Chemical facility has recently changed names since the new year, unfortunately I do not recall the new name. |

| Description: |
After departing the former CNW Neenah Yard and running between some buildings in close proximity to the track, the 4934 crosses Washington Street. The CN uses these former CNW rails to serve what was a General Chemical facility. The spur also served Gilbert Paper Company from the south side of the Fox River and used to get at least two switches per day. Gilbert Paper also had another spur leading to it that came across the river and had boxcars spotted on that side of the building upon a trestle. |

The view is from Menasha toward Appleton, there are currently four businesses with a spur on this line, north of the "wye" in Menasha. The wye is now missing it's north east leg and this line no longer goes to the Appleton industrial flats. The right of way now ends at R.R. Donneleey (Banta) on the north side of Midway Road. |

After switching the Orbis/Menasha Corporation facility, the local returns towards the heart of Menasha thru the St. Mary$s Cemetary. Ripley's Believe It or Not once had a piece about this being the only cemetary with a railroad running thru it. I wouldn't know if it is true, but I never saw ancther with rails. Oddly, the right of way was Milwaukee Road, which is now passed away also. |

The former CNW station in Neenah overlooks as GTW 4934 shoves a cut of boxcars across Commercial Street. This former CNW mainline is now truncated about a half mile to the rear of this unit at Neenah Paper. Neenah Paper is served via a switch back across the Neenah channel. If any of these cars are to be spotted at the Neenah Paper mill, they will need to be ran around. There is also a warehouse along this line, which the cars are in position to be spotted in relationship to the loco. |

IC 9601 |
| Description: |
A Neenah/Menasha local moves in to couple with two boxcars and remove them from Neenah Paper. The local is working an industrial spur that was once CNW's main line thru the Fox Valley to Green Bay. The middle section of the line thru Neenah was pulled up after the area became a one railroad town. Soo Line spun off Lake States, which was sold to the modern incarnation of Wisconsin Central. Chicago and Northwestern was sold off to become the Fox River Valley Railroad, which also was bought out by the Wisconsin Central. Wisconsin Central, was sold off to Canadian National. |

| Description: |
GTW 4914 heading north out of the former Soo Line yard in Neenah with cars for the local industries. The train is across what was once the Sherry Street grade crossing, which was taken out of service with the building of overpasses at Main Street, Winneconne Ave. and Cecil Streets.

IC 9571 |
| Description: |
The 9571 works the Neenah yard from the north end. The Winneconne overpass crosses the tracks here now, but not too long ago, the crossing was at grade. Winneconne Avenue was protected by lights, gates and had a manned elevated tower due to the frequent moves made across the grade crossing. This was the first overpass of three put in to avoid delays in road traffic. |
