Description:  A look down the hill into Fisk on County Highway FF in Fisk. The view looks generally south at the bridge across Eight Mile Creek and the FF grade crossing. These covered hoppers are most likely full of plastic pellets for a Bemis plant in Oshkosh. The train is in the process of picking up some empties to be spotted on the former Strey Construction spur in Oshkosh for loading.
