CN 9515, et al.
Title:  CN 9515, et al.
Description:  A CN local parallels W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd. and approaches Stroebe Rd. as it heads northeast with 20 cars via former C&NW rails at Stroebe, WI on 10 Nov. '19. Local was headed for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna, and had two locomotives, CN 9515 and GTW 5812. Stroebe is a railroad station in Fox Crossing, WI (formerly Town of Menasha, Winnebago Co., WI, from 1855 until 14 Apr. 2016). The former SOO rails run parallel to the left. Modern maps tend to omit the W. from W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd. for some reason, it is also absent on the current street sign, some old maps include the W., some old maps omit the W.

CN 9515, et al.
Title:  CN 9515, et al.
Description:  A CN local passes behind the depot/yard office as it prepares to set out a string of cars at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 10 Nov. '19. Usually they stay on the main line and pass in front of the depot/yard office while making their setout, but this isn't the first time I've watched them do it this way. Local would continue on to Little Chute and Kaukauna and had two locomotives, CN 9515 and GTW 5812. There used to be a diamond in front of where the depot/yard office sits, about where the sidewalk leading to the front door crosses the tracks, 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 behind the depot/yard office is the former home of the Harry H. Long Moving and Storage Co., 1001 S. Douglas St., Appleton, WI. 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.

CN 9515, GTW 5812, CN 4705
Title:  CN 9515, GTW 5812, CN 4705
Description:  A heavily powered CN local crosses W. 2nd St. as it prepares to set out a string of cars at the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 15 Nov. '19. Local would continue on to Little Chute and Kaukauna. Carter's Caboose, 1428 W. 2nd St., a small, old, rail side tavern, is partially visible at left. It dates to at least 1887, when it was a grocery store operated by Peter Leininger. By 1901 it was a sample room (saloon) operated by John Sigl. By ‘30 it was a soft drink establishment owned by Hubert J. Merkel and August F. Brandt (Prohibition was still in effect). By ’36 it was a tavern operated by Albert Giesen, owned by Mrs. Gretchen Merkel. By ’38 it was Bob’s Tavern, still owned by Mrs. Merkel. It was the Junction Tavern from at least ’43-’71, still owned by Mrs. Merkel until at least ’60 (there were at least two different owners between ’67-’71). At some point in the ‘70s it became Pete’s Junction (possibly Palomino Pete’s Junction). It was called Netticoat Junction ca. the ‘90s (owned by Joanne M. ‘Nettie’ Nett). I haven’t learned how long it has been Carter’s Caboose.

FOXY Power in CNs Neenah Yard
Title:  FOXY Power in CNs Neenah Yard
Description:  Seen from the West Cecil bridge, four lease units sit in CNs Neenah yard. It appeared either WATCO of CN employees had started the units and were inspecting the locomotives. The four units will be brought to Appleton yard where WATCOs Fox Valley and Lake Superior (FOXY) will take over two CN branch lines (among many others in Wisconsin) on January 29th 2022. The closest locomotive to the camera is HLCX 3880 (GP38-2) and the furthest is HLCX 1042 (GP38-2). I was unable to get the other two units reporting marks. Nearby sit CN 9515 (GP40-2LW) and GTW 4906 (GP38-2).

A Long L523
Title:  A Long L523
Description:  IC 9563 (GP38-2) and CN 9515 (GP40-2LW) lead a unusually long northbound L523 along the main at Strobe Siding in Fox Crossing, WI. I believe the length is due to interchange traffic bound for the FOXY at the former CNW/CN yard in Appleton yard.

Title:  CN 9515 and IC 3137
Description:  A CN train passes the former Caroline St. grade crossing as it departs the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 5 Nov. '23. The train was heading for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St., used to be the yard, built by WC in 1882. 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.
