IC 3138
Title:  IC 3138
Description:  A train is crossing over off the Shawano Subdivision onto the mainline of what I believe to be the Fox River Subdivision to pick up a cut of at least fifteen pulpwood and woodchip cars off the siding at Stroebe in the Town of Menasha. I am uncertain if the CN still refers to the line to Green Bay north of Neenah as the Fox River Subdivision as my information shows the Wisconsin Central had.

GTW 5856
Title:  GTW 5856
Description:  The CN train crossing over from the Shawano sub onto the Fox River sub has made it onto the siding and must continue until the rear is clear of the turnout from the Shawano sub. Once clear of this cross over, the train will shove back to pick up a cut of woodchip and pulpwood cars. As cold as the weather was, this move took a while to complete. I hope the crewman on the ground was able to stay warm.

Title:  GTW 5856 and IC 9602
Description:  CN local extracts 5 boxcars from the WSI/Appvion warehouse via former C&NW rails at Milepost 118 at Appleton, WI on 26 Mar. '14. WSI/Appvion is out of frame to the right, reached by a sharp S-curve that really makes the flanges squeal. The pair of tan buildings in the photo belong to someone else; they have a spur but don't appear to receive rail service. They spotted 2 new boxcars at the warehouse, meaning the train would pull 29 cars the rest of the way to the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction after servicing Kimberly, Combined Locks, and Appleton.

The historic Atlas Paper Co. mill, completed in 1878 and now home to the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame and Paper Discovery Center, is visible in the background.

GTW 5656 and IC 9617
Title:  GTW 5656 and IC 9617
Description:  A CN local approaches the former C&NW swing bridge over the Fox River Navigation Canal at Lock No. 3 (out of frame to right) as it hauls 37 cars westward vhrough 'The Flats' at Appleton, WI, on 4 Aug. '14. Train had just descended the grade from Telulah Park on its way back to the yard at Appleton Junction after servicing Kimberly and Combined Locks. This view was captured from the abandoned former C&NW fixed bridge over the Fox River. The active line was originally laid by the MLS&W. I used to think that the abandoned bridge was former MILW, but I have since learned that it was C&NW. Over the past several years, I have noticed that some misinformed individuals erroneously refer to ‘The Alats’ as ‘Oneida Flats,’ or some other variation. For all of my life, the historic, industrial heart of Appleton has been simply ‘The Flats.’ However, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was referred to as 'The Water Power.'
