Album Info:Most of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the summer of 2014, so they are mostly CN operating on former C&NW, GB&W, MILW, and SOO rails. Once in a while I try to catch ELS and WSOR on former MILW rails too. A handful of photos are from Illinois and Iowa too.

IC 9601
Title:  IC 9601
Description:  CN local crosses the former joint MILW/SOO bridge over the South Channel (Neenah Channel) of the Fox River at Neenah, WI on 7 Aug. ’14. Train was headed back to the former SOO yard at Neenah after servicing several industries on Doty Island in the Twin Cities of Neenah and Menasha. There hasn’t been much rain in the past month, so the river is currently low and slow and the algae is in full bloom.

IC 9601
Title:  IC 9601
Description:  CN local parallels Harrison St. as it crosses over from the remnants of the former C&NW mainline to the former SOO mainline at the south end of the yard at Neenah, WI on 10 Aug. '14. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible on the left. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about a mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished. I presume the train, with about 40 cars, was returning from a trip to Fond du Lac.

The railroad crossing sign still says "2 Tracks," unfortunately this second track has been missing for quite a few years.

Train had seven locomotives, CN 2838, UP 5762, CN 8895, NS 8776, CN 2688, CREX 1328, and CN 2843. I was hoping to find a spot to get a broadside of all the motive power, but no such luck.

ELS 501
Title:  ELS 501
Description:  A northbound E&LS train parked on former MILW rails at Hwy. P at Beaver, WI on 20 Sep. '14. Train had two locomotives, ELS 501 and ILSX 1338. There used to be a siding here aod a large, old foundation is partially visible on the right. It might be the remains of one of two potato warehouses built in the early 1900s. The Beaver depot was closed in 1931 and was razed in 1952, not sure which side of the tracks it was on or which side of Hwy. P.

PPCX 800239
Title:  PPCX 800239
Description:  PPCX 800239, formerly AMTK 3222 'Palm Beach', formerly SCL 6602, formerly SAL 15, spotted along the southeast side of the former C&NW depot at Green Bay, WI on 22 Sep. '14. The 6 bedroom lounge car was built by American Car and Foundry Corp. in 1949 and ran on SAL/SCL between NY and FL for many years. AMTK spent $150,000 on repairs and remodeling after a wreck in 1974, but discontinued it from service in 1977. It was purchased from Amtrak by a private owner in 1978. He reconfigured the interior to 5 bedrooms, bar-lounge, and kitchenette. The restoration of the sleeper-lounge car was done well enough that it qualified to be pulled by AMTK trains. Not sure how long he owned it or who owns it now.
