WC 1561
Title:  WC 1561
Description:  Still in Wisconsin Central colors, a SW1500 moves along the spur in to switch Menasha Corporation.This facility used to have a few spurs into it off this main lead, but all but this one have been removed. On the left hand side of the photo is a concrete loading dock, with a long gently sloping ramp for fork lifts to gain access to the railcars. This ramp does not appear to have been used for a considerable length of time. Menasha Corporation expanded the facility over 2016-2017. One hopes it means an increase in traffic for the rails.
