GTW 6223 and IC 3115
Title:  GTW 6223 and IC 3115
Description:  A CN local crosses Hwy. O as it heads north via former SOO rails at Mackville Station, WI, on 16 Oct. '21. Listed as Mackville Station on some old maps, distinguishing it from the community of Mackville (which is 1-mile due east of here), it is listed as Mackville on some time tables. The remnants of the depot's foundation are hidden in the overgrowth to the right of the lead locomotive. Part of the passing siding can be seen to the right of that, it has been truncated at Hwy. O. What remains forms a spur which could be used to service Greener Vision Recycling & Waste (Greener Vision Recycling, Inc.), W4892 County Rd. O, Appleton, WI 54913 (physically located in Town of Center, Outagamie Co., WI).

IC 3115
Title:  IC 3115
Description:  IC 3115 parallels Union St. and passes the former Caroline St. grade crossing as it departs the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI, on 20 Feb. '22. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St., used to be the yard. I don't know when the current, significantly larger yard (extending southwestward from Winneconne Ave.) was built. A 1909 map shows the yard still here, a 1936 map depicts both the old and new yards.

IC 3115
Title:  IC 3115
Description:  A CN local, with a friendly engineer. crosses Towmen Rd. as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Shawano Junction, WI, on 20 Feb. '22. The other set of rails enable trains to transition 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.

IC 3115 and CN 5463
Title:  IC 3115 and CN 5463
Description:  A CN through freight bisects the intersection of W. Franklin St. and N. Division St. as it heads northeast via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI, on 19 Mar. '22. Hoersch Home Appliance, 218 N. Division St., has been in business since 1945, previously known as Home Appliance Co. until at least '67. Previously located at 225 W. College Ave. ca. '50s, later located at 307 W. College Ave., until it moved to this location ca. '82. The former Furnishings Unlimited warehouse stands on the other side of the tracks at right. The historic address of the facility is 323 N. Clark St. The current business address is 311 N. Superior St.; the address probably changed after an addition was added to the northeast end of the facility after 1981. The building was likely erected by the Cohen Bros. Fruit Co., after a natural gas explosion destroyed their previous facility ca. 10 Sep. 1948 (or was the damaged building repaired?). Furnishings Unlimited acquired the facility in or prior to 1981. The building had painted signs for Cohen Bros. and Sunkist until at least 1981. The facility used to receive rail service, but it hasn't for quite some time. The most recent occupant is, or was, Appleton Furniture Direct.

GTW 4933 and IC 3115
Title:  GTW 4933 and IC 3115
Description:  A CN train passes the former C&NW depot and approaches S. 14th St. as it heads southwest with 23 3-bay covered hoppers at Manitowoc, WI, on 20 Aug. '23. I previously thought this depot had been built by the MLS&W ca. 1872. Some references state or suggest it could be the original depot built when the railroad was incorporated. However, the Sanborn maps reveal that this masonry depot was built between 1887 and 1894 to replace the earlier framed depot. If it was built prior to 1 Sep. '93, it was built by the MLS&W. If it was built after that date, it was C&NW. A couple of awkward additions were constructed after the railroad stopped using it. It is/was used by Holiday House of Manitowoc County, Inc. They have a newer facility, not sure if they still use this or not. The C&NW built a new depot about a mile to the west in 1945, but that one no longer exists.

If it was built after that date, it was C&NW. A couple of awkward additions were constructed after the railroad stopped using it. It is/was used by Holiday House of Manitowoc County, Inc. They have a newer facility, not sure if they still use this or not. The C&NW built a new depot about a mile to the west in 1945, but that one no longer exists.

IC 3115, et al.
Title:  IC 3115, et al.
Description:  A CN train crosses S. 14th St. as it heads southwest with 23 3-bay covered hoppers at Manitowoc, WI, on 20 Aug. '23. Who’s the doofus who left their video camera and tripod fouling my shot? Oh wait, that was me. I intended to shoot this train as it ran along Franklin St., but two other camera-equipped railfans beat me to it. I didn’t want to foul their shot, so I shot the depot.

IC 3115 and QTTX 130503
Title:  IC 3115 and QTTX 130503
Description:  IC 3115 sorts cars, including QTTX 130503 (transporting a Nationwide Boiler Incorporated skid-mounted boiler), at the north end of the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI, on 12 Nov. '23. This view would have been prevented by the dominating silhouette of the original Neenah Foundry facility, later known as Plant 1, which stood here for over ¾’s of a century. Established in 1872 as Aylward Plow Works (a.k.a. Aylward & Sons) at 120 N. Lake St., they erected a new foundry at 500 W. Winneconne Ave. in 1918 “in a rural area of southwestern Neenah.” The name of Neenah Foundry was adopted in 1922. Expanded numerous times over the years, it became Plant 1 in 1960 when Plant 2 was constructed in the then rural area at the intersection of Byrd Ave. and the aptly named Aylward St. (followed by Plant 3 in 1967). Plant 1 was closed in 1994. It stood abandoned for a while and was eventually demolished.

IC 3115 and WC 15
Title:  IC 3115 and WC 15
Description:  IC 3115 shoves WC 15 through the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI, on 12 Nov. '23. I believe they were assembling the Oshkosh local. Sorry, but I will not willingly utter the phrase "shoving platform" to describe a piece of rolling stock which is obviously a caboose. WC 15 is the former AC 9602, although one reference claims it was AC 9606.
