GTW 4912
Title:  GTW 4912
Description:  The local pulls across Tower Road and into the siding at Waupaca to switch one of the Waupaca Foundry plants. I can't say for certain, but I believe this job is out of Neenah. I often see this unit there and also see gons of scrap heading that way out of the Neenah yard.

GTW 4912
Title:  GTW 4912
Description:  Having cut off from it's train, the 4912 runs across Ware Street and down the passing siding to switch Waupaca Foundry Plant 1. The siding actually dips down quite a bit from the main. At it's low point, the siding crosses Oak Street at grade while the main crosses Oak via an overpass.

GTW 4912
Title:  GTW 4912
Description:  The CN local for Kimberly and Little Chute crosses Lawe Street and heads for the former C&NW swing bridge across the navigation canal. The trailing point turnout going off to the left rear of the train serves Neenah Paper. Neenah Paper is the only remaining customer for the railroad in this once heavy industrial area. After crossing the swing bridge, the train will be climbing out of the "Flats" and head for Kimberly.
