GTW 4928 |
| Description: |
A CN local serving industries along what was once the main right of way thru the Fox Cities for the CNW. Ther crew is crossing Commercial Street in Neenah. The CNW's yard was right in this area with at least three tracks crossing Comercial Street. Currently only two tracks cross the road with only a few businesses receiving rail service to the 4928's rear. The middle section of the CNW route thru Neenah has been torn out, but businesses are still served on each side of town with access from the former Soo Line right of way. The yard that was here which the CNW worked out of to serve Neenah and Menasha has been stripped of about half of its tracks and now only serves to organize the local's cars for switching the industries reached from this point. |

The Neenah / Menasha local switch job at Neenah Paper. A former Kimberly Clark facility located along the former CNW line through Neenah. This bridge crosses over a canal above the dam of the Fox River. Out of pcture to the right is the railroad bridge over the Fox River below the Dam that must be crossed to reach this point. The track ends about 200 feet behind the locomotive, though in the CNW days, it went on to Fond du Lac and the rest of the CNW system. |

| Description: |
A local switch job crossing the Fox River on former Soo rails. This area in Neenah was crowded with paper industry in the not too distant past. There is a Kimberly Clark facility to the left of the camera (photo is along their parking lot) but the rails that served it are torn out. Neenah Paper is about a quarter mile to the rear of the camera and this train may very well spot some of these cars there via the former C&NW line. |

| Description: |
After crossing the Fox River channel in Neenah, the CN follows former joint Milwaukee Road / Soo Line rail across Doty Island. The right of way run parallel River Street for a short distance as it crosses West North Water Street and Forest Avenue. At the lead end of the engine, one can spot the former Milwaukee and Northern (Milwaukee Road) Neenah depot on Forest Avenue. The train will cross the Fox River in Menasha once again as it leaves Doty Island. There used to be a few businesses to switch along this part of the line on Doty Island, but they all stopped using rail or closed. |
