Viewing Album: Northeast WI, Fall 2022
By:
T. P. Bruss
Dates:
9/22/2022 - 12/20/2022
Album Info:
Most, if not all, of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the fall of 2022, so they are mostly CN operating on former C&NW, MILW, and SOO rails, as well as FV&LS operating on former SOO, MILW, C&NW, and GB&W rails. Once in a while I hope to catch ELS and WSOR on former MILW rails too.

GTW 4921
Description:
GTW 4921 throws a little smoke as it emerges from U.S. Paper Mills Corp., 69 Washington St., Menasha, WI, on 15 Oct. '22. This mill began production in 1891 as the John Strange Paper Co. (it was built on the former site of the John Strange Tub & Pail Factory). It was purchased by Menasha Corp. in 1969 and renamed John Strange Paperboard Div. It was sold to U.S. Papers Corp. in 1981. It was sold to Sonoco ca. 2002.

CN 2231 and CN 8003
Description:
A CN train approaches Harrison St. as it heads south via former SOO rails at Town of Oshkosh, Winnebago Co., WI, on 15 Oct. '22. The former C&NW right-of-way runs parallel to these tracks just out-of-frame to the right. The CN main line transitions from the former SOO to the former C&NW right-of-way at Harrison St. I was standing on Harrison St., in the City of Oshkosh, but the train is traversing an isolated, pitiful scrap of the Town of Oshkosh. Amcor Flexibles North America (previously Bemis Oshkosh North), is partially visible in the background.

This is where Tower CF once stood. I was standing on Harrison St., in the City of Oshkosh, but the train is traversing an isolated, pitiful scrap of the Town of Oshkosh.

HTTX 93863
Description:
HTTX 93863, bearing a brand-spanking-new Caterpillar 352 hydraulic excavator, was part of the consist of a CN train crossing Winchester Rd./Hwy. II as it headed northwest via former SOO rails at Fox Crossing, Winnebago Co., WI (formerly Town of Menasha, Winnebago Co., WI, from 1855 until 14 Apr. 2016) on 15 Oct. '22. The divergence of rail lines at Winchester Rd., where this line heads northwest toward Stevens Point and another line curves northeast toward Green Bay, is labeled Winnebago Junction on some old maps.

GTW 4915 and GTW 4912
Description:
A CN local crawls past the depot/yard office at the FV&LS (or FOXY), former CN, historically C&NW, yard at Appleton Junction, WI, on 16 Oct. '22. Local was preparing to set out cars before continuing on to Little Chute and Kaukauna. There used to be a diamond right about where the lead locomotive is, from ca. 1874 until at least 1968, where the MLS&W crossed the C&NW. When the MLS&W was absorbed by the C&NW on 1 Sep. 1893, their line became the Ashland Div. of the C&NW. The white building partially visible in the background is the former home of the Harry H. Long Moving and Storage Co. This building dates to at least 1953, when it was listed in the local directory (it was not listed in ’51). The building has a spur, but it hasn’t been used for quite a while (except for occasional MoW equipment). Now called Harry H. Long Moving Storage & Express, Inc., the company, founded in 1917, is still family owned. It moved to a larger facility in Town of Clayton, Winnebago Co., WI in 2001.

HLCX 1070
Description:
HLCX 1070, operated by FV&LS (or FOXY), rests on former CN rails along N. Quincy St. at Green Bay, WI, on 23 Oct. '22. I noticed this locomotive as soon as I turned onto N. Quincy St. I thought I would finally get to watch the FV&LS (or FOXY) operate in Green Bay. Sadly, it was not to be.

CN 3242 and CN 3923
Description:
A CN train passes the former C&NW depot as it heads northeast at Green Bay, WI, on 28 Oct. '22. The depot, designed by Charles Sumner Frost, was built in the Italian Renaissance Revival style and completed in 1899. Passenger train service ceased in 1971 but it was still used by the railroad for years. From 1996 until 2021, it was home to Titletown Brewing Co. It looks like the current occupant is The Depot. The depot is also a stop on the Green Bay Packers' Heritage Trail.

Description:
A CN local parallels Ehlers Rd. and approaches Towmen Rd. at Shawano Junction, Fox Crossing, WI, on 6 Nov. '22 Local was headed for Appleton, Little Chute and Kaukauna, and is transitioning from the former SOO rails to the former C&NW rails. 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.

Description:
A FV&LS (or FOXY) train passes the joint Agropur and Midland Paper facility as it heads northwest via former CN, historically C&NW, rails at Town of Grand Chute, Outagamie Co., WI, on 13 Nov. '22. It is neat to find a former C&NW locomotive plying former C&NW rails. This was formerly U.S. Paper Converters, until they closed in 2017, eliminating 52-56 jobs, depending on the reference. It appears the facility has been subdivided. The entrance on the east side, 4808 W. Converters Dr., is occupied by Agropur/WOW Logistics. The entrance on the north side, 4826 W. Converters Dr., is occupied by Midland Paper. I'm not sure which occupant receives rail service; it's possible that they both do. I thought this train was going to stop and spot their boxcar here, but they did not.

Most of New London Junction is located in Outagamie Co., this portion is in Waupaca Co. It is neat to find a former C&NW locomotive plying former C&NW rails. The rails which bisect the scene are a remnant of the former GB&W main line, also inherited by the FV&LS from the CN at the beginning of the year. Milepost 39 (of the former GB&W main line) can be seen to the right of the locomotive.

Purchased by the SOO in 1891 and used into the ‘60s. William Winkler, Appleton, bought it from Rawhide Boys Ranch, where it had been used for storage, and donated it to the Heritage Historical Village in ’90. The 1923 C&NW New London depot is partially visible in the background to the right.

HLCX 3880 and HLCX 1037
Description:
A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses Hwy. MM as it prepares to switch Shawano Specialty Papers (div. of Little Rapids Corp.) via former CN, historically C&NW, rails at West Shawano, Town of Richmond, Shawano Co., WI, on 25 Nov. '22. The area around the mill, which includes some former company houses, used to be referred to as West Shawano. The name still appears on some official property records. The paper mill stands along an approximately 2-mile scrap of the former C&NW mainline which once ran 83 miles from Green Bay to Wausau (this is the only active remnant outside of those two cities). That former main line is now the Mountain-Bay State Trail. It is an awesome bicycle ride, but I (obviously) would prefer to see trains running on it. The fence to the far right surrounds the paper mill's water treatment facility, which was built upon the former site of the Shawano Brick Yard (a.k.a. Larson Brick Yard). The brick yard (owned by Charles Larson, and later his son Thomas, for most, if not all, of its existence) produced fine white or cream-colored brick from 1891 until 1946. The large facility contained three kilns and its own narrow-gauge railway. The paper mill purchased the property at some point after the brick yard closed and eventually demolished the entire facility, to include the Larson mansion. The paper mill's historic office building was constructed in 1901 of brick from that yard.
