Description:  The rear unit of the Green Bay to Stevens Point train passes a Norkolf Southern powered train waiting in the hole at Stroebe.The 5641 is the rear unit pushing past the waiting train towards Neenah where it will change direction and head towards Stevens Point without a run around move.

CN 5641
Title:  CN 5641
Description:  Heading general direction south, out of Neenah. The track to the right was the former CNW line to Green Bay thru Fond du Lac, Oshkosh, Neenah and the other Fox Cities. The CN train is running on the former SOO right of way. (Original Wisconsin Central) Both rights of way eventually ended up as part of the modern Wisconsin Central before being sold to CN. The mill complex to the rear is Neenah Foundry (plant 2). Plant 2 is now the only Neenah Foundry plant in Neenah, plant 1 was razed quite some time ago.

CN 5641
Title:  CN 5641
Description:  EMD and GE power combine to move a general freight compass direction south out of Neenah. The train is moving right along on former Soo Line right of way that was spun off to the modern Wisconsin Central. The Soo Line had gained this right of way by absorbing the original Wisconsin Central. Neenah Foundry is seen behind the train and sits along the former CNW (now also CN) mainline in Neenah.

CN 2582
Title:  CN 2582
Description:  Saturday afternoon destination unknown, to me anyway. CN general freight passes under U.S. 41 as it runs along Green Bay Road. The location is either Neenah, Town of Menasha or maybe even Town of Neenah, as these politcal boundries are very convoluted. Never the less, it's on the old Soo Line heading towards Stevens Point thru the Neenah Yard.

CN 2582
Title:  CN 2582
Description:  CN train heading west thru the Town of Menasha. The train has recently passed thru the Neenah Yard and is heading towards Stevens Point on the former Soo Line main. The units are about to cross American Drive after running parallel to N. Green Bay Road under U.S. 41. There is a slight grade heading west out of Neenah and some of the trains labor as they depart. This particular train seemed to be working the loco's fairly hard.

Title:  CN 2665
Description:  A CN train rolls down Byron Hill towards Fond du Lac at Hamilton. Hamilton was originally known as Ketcham Post Office, with a post office and a railroad station, formed to serve the Hamilton Stone Quarries in 1883. In 1894, Irenus K.

A little of this track can be seen inside the curve, just above the top fence rail.

CN 2665
Title:  CN 2665
Description:  Headed railroad "west", the 2665 leads a train downgrade on Byron Hill towards Fond du Lac. The location is known as Hamilton on detailed maps, in the vicinity of the grade crossing with CTY HWY B (Hamilton Road). Originally formed in 1883, the community was named Ketcham Post Office, named after the first president of the Hamilton Stone Quarries. The quarries are located very near and are quite large to this day. In 1894, Irenus K. Hamilton purchased Ketcham Post Office and the name was changed to Hamilton Post Office. This location had the post office and a railroad station. What seems to be the remnants of the original buildings' foundations still exist in the trees along with buried track long out of service.

Title:  NS 8971
Description:  A CN train taking the northeast connecting track from Stevens Point towards Wausau is just about to enter the former Milwaukee Road line. The train will continue north towards Wausau only far enough to clear this turnout with the rear of the train. Once the train is clear of this turnout, it will then reverse direction and back onto the northwest quadrant connecting track. The train will continue this reverse move util it is once again on the former Soo Line R.o.W. facing Stevens Point, having turn itself via the junction. Once on the Soo Line R.o.W., the train will be waiting for a while. Unfortunately, I didn't have the time to find out what for, or for which way it would go once it departed.

CN Bridge
Title:  CN Bridge
Description:  The CN replaced the CNW swing bridge during 2012 and 2013 with this bascule style bridge. The old bridge was much more picturesque but this new one opens and closes much quicker, allowing for more efficient flow of marine and rail traffic. It is still amazing to see that some boaters still become very annoyed at having to halt their pleasure trips up and down the river between Lake Winnebago and Lake Buttes des Morts for a few minutes as the trains go through. The view is of the east side of the bridge, looking up the Fox River.
