Identity crisis
Title:  Identity crisis
Description:  About one-quarter of the C&NW logo on the nose was left intact when this locomotive was patched. That, coupled with the the easily visible CNW number (8816) on the engineer's side of the long hood make this particular locomotive a coveted catch among C&NW fans. Almost as good as 8646 and 8701!

Abandoned Griswold crossing signal on Union Avenue
Title:  Abandoned Griswold crossing signal on Union Avenue
Description:  Rear view, with bell. This is one of less than half a dozen of these unique "rotating stop sign" signals that still stands at a crossing in Wisconsin. Unfortunately, the track that passes it has been out of service for over a decade and is partially dismantled.

Abandoned ex-C&NW line looking south across Union Avenue
Title:  Abandoned ex-C&NW line looking south across Union Avenue
Description:  This line ran by the passenger depot on Pennsylvania Avenue. Only a few hundred yards at the north end are still used to serve as a spur for one customer. Parts of the line are removed, while others are rusty and overgrown like this. At right is a partially dismantled Griswold rotating stop sign crossing signal.

Sheboygan, WI C&NW Depot
Title:  Sheboygan, WI C&NW Depot

Sheboygan, WI C&NW Freight House
Title:  Sheboygan, WI C&NW Freight House
Description:  The west and south walls of the former C&NW freight house at Sheboygan, WI on 3 Oct. '16. The wooden portion of the freight house was built by the MLS&W in 1887 (according to wisconsinhistory.org/). The 1887 Sanborn map depicts it oriented parallel to S. Water St. (now N. Commerce St.) at Pennsylvania Ave. The brick freight office was constructed on the southeast end of the building between 1887 and 1891, according to the Sanborn maps. It was built in 1887 at a cost of $2,182.63, if it is the same freight office described in the Annual Report of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railway Co., 1888. Wisconsinhistory.org/ states that it “was moved to its current location around 1898,” but it wasn’t moved very far. It was simply rotated approximately 30 degrees clockwise to its current orientation at 1134 Pennsylvania Ave., Sheboygan, WI. The northeast corner was cut off at an angle matching the track that ran parallel to S. Water St. (now N. Commerce St.). The brick freight office appears to have been rotated about 60 degrees counterclockwise and instead of being attached to the now south end of the building like it originally was, it was attached to the now east side of the building at the south end. The building was used by C&NW until the early 1960s. The Shoreland 400 Rail Trail, the former C&NW right of way, is visible in the middle of the photograph.

Sheboygan, WI C&NW Freight House
Title:  Sheboygan, WI C&NW Freight House
Description:  The east and south walls of the former C&NW freight house at Sheboygan, WI on 3 Oct. '16. The wooden portion of the freight house was built by the MLS&W in 1887 (according to wisconsinhistory.org/). The 1887 Sanborn map depicts it oriented parallel to S. Water St. (now N. Commerce St.) at Pennsylvania Ave. The brick freight office was constructed on the southeast end of the building between 1887 and 1896, according to the Sanborn maps. It was built in 1887 at a cost of $2,182.63, if it is the same freight office described in the Annual Report of the Milwaukee, Lake Shore and Western Railway Co., 1888. Wisconsinhistory.org/ states that it “was moved to its current location around 1898,” but it wasn’t moved very far.

The building was used by C&NW until the early 1960s. I don't know if the darker brick addition on the right was added by the railroad or a subsequent owner of the building.

UP 1474
Title:  UP 1474
Description:  UP 1474 parked on the former C&NW main line by the depot/yard office at the north end of South Yard at Sheboygan, WI on 3 Oct. '16. The locomotive was not parked here when we came through earlier. Seeing as it had now been shut down, we figured that they were done for the day. We were pleasantly surprised to find it moving a short while later. This track used to be the main line, but it is now a branch that ends at Haven, WI for the UP. CN operates part of the former main line from Newton to Rockland and from Denmark to Green Bay.

Description:  UP local activates the Wig-Wag signals and crosses Saemann Ave. as it heads north via a remnant of the former C&NW main line at Sheboygan, WI on 3 Oct. '16. The local was preparing to switch several industries at the north end of town. We were chasing the train northward through heavy afternoon traffic and got far enough ahead of the train to stop here to get a shot or two. This being our first time chasing trains here, we were quite surprised to espy these classic and exceedingly rare crossing signals as we parked and started walking toward the grade crossing.
