| An interesting foreigner leads a through freight as it approaches S. Perkins St. while headed northeast through the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 24 Mar. '18. Train had two locomotives, CP 8828 and CREX 1504. There is a spur along the south side of the facility at right, but the turnout was removed years ago. The oldest part of the building was completed in Mar. '60, the new facility for the Fox Valley Sheltered Workshop. Inc. (started in '55 to create employment opportunities for the disabled). It became Valley Packaging Industries Inc. ca. mid- or late-'80s. After they moved to a new facility, this one has been home to Valley Planing Mill, Inc., followed by Perfect Patterns, Inc., and most recently as extra warehouse space for All About Packaging, Inc. |
