GTW 6228 |
| Description: |
A CN local crosses the Fox River in Menasha on former Milwaukee Road/Soo Line right of way. The bridge in the foreground crosses the navigation canal to Little Lake Buttes De Morts. The island formed between the Fox River and the navigation canal still has some rail served industry. There are very interesting track arrangements on this island too. |

GTW 6228 exits the thru girder swing bridge across the Fox River navigation canal in Menasha. The swing bridge was built by the Milwaukee Road in 1905. The canal still sees boat traffic and the bridge is still operational. |

The 6228 is swapping covered hoppers at the Orbis/Menasha Corporation plant. The right of way is former Milwaukee Road from Menasha to Appleton, which now ends about a half mile from this trains location at an R.R. Donneley plant. |

| Description: |
A view down the old Milwaukee Road right of way from Menasha to Appleton shows the 6228 switching the Orbis/MenashaCorporation plant on Earl Street. The view is from Menasha toward Appleton, there are currently four businesses with a spur on this line, north of the "wye" in Menasha. The wye is now missing it's north east leg and this line no longer goes to the Appleton industrial flats. The right of way now ends at R.R. Donnelley (Banta) on the north side of Midway Road. |

GTW 6228 |
| Description: |
After switching the Orbis/Menasha Corporation facility, the local returns towards the heart of Menasha thru the St. Mary's Cemetary. Ripley's Believe It or Not once had a piece about this being the only cemetary with a railroad running thru it. I wouldn't know if it is true, but I never saw another with rails. Oddly, the right of way was Milwaukee Road, which is now passed away also. |
