GTW 4907 and IC 3110
Title:  GTW 4907 and IC 3110
Description:  A CN local crosses W. Prospect Ave./Hwy. BB while picking up a string of cars from the southwest end of the former C&NW yard at Appleton Junction, WI on 14 Aug. '18. When the local reaches the middle of the road, it will be spanning 3 communities at once in a peculiar spot of the sometimes confusing local borders. This section of the road is the border separating the Town of Grand Chute, Outagamie Co., WI to the north (left) and Fox Crossing, Winnebago Co., WI (formerly Town of Menasha, WI tntil 14 Apr. '16) to the south (right). The locomotives and a couple of freight cars are in the Town of Grand Chute, thanks to an unnatural jog in the border, the remainder of the train is in Appleton. The former SOO main line is just out-of-frame to the left.

IC 3107
Title:  IC 3107
Description:  A CN local passes a neat, old barn and crosses W. Capitol Dr. as it heads southeast with 12 covered hoppers via former C&NW rails at Town of Grand Chute, Outagamie Co., WI on 20 Jan. '19. The local was headed back from New London to Appleton. The farmstead dates to at least 1882, but I’m not sure if the barn does. It does not appear to be an active farm.

GTW 4930
Title:  GTW 4930
Description:  A CN local crosses W. Capitol Dr. and passes a neat, old barn and concrete silo as it heads northwest with 9 cars via former C&NW rails at Town of Grand Chute, Outagamie Co., WI, on 7 Mar. '21. The farmstead dates to at least 1882, but I’m not sure if the barn does. It does not appear to be an active farm. This locomotive would pass this same spot exactly five hours later, when it was headed in the opposite direction.

HLCX 1042
Title:  HLCX 1042
Description:  A FV&LS (or FOXY) train passes the joint Agropur and Midland Paper facility as it heads northwest via former CN, historically C&NW, rails at Town of Grand Chute, Outagamie Co., WI, on 13 Nov. '22. It is neat to find a former C&NW locomotive plying former C&NW rails. This was formerly U.S. Paper Converters, until they closed in 2017, eliminating 52-56 jobs, depending on the reference. It appears the facility has been subdivided. The entrance on the east side, 4808 W. Converters Dr., is occupied by Agropur/WOW Logistics. The entrance on the north side, 4826 W. Converters Dr., is occupied by Midland Paper. I'm not sure which occupant receives rail service; it's possible that they both do. I thought this train was going to stop and spot their boxcar here, but they did not.
