Album Info:Canadian National locals working in the twin cities of Neenah and Menasha. The track used by the CN here was at one time the domain of three competing railroads, the Milwaukee Road, Chicago and Northwestern as well as the Soo Line. The tracks arrangements and industrial base of the area have changed considerably since becoming a one railroad area.

IC 9623
Title:  IC 9623
Description:  After servicing Chemtrade, a local working industry on Doty Island in Menasha and Neenah, must negotiate some tight turns on its way back to the former CNW main and yard. The track here runs between a warehouse on the left, right and the former CNW freight house beyond the locomotive. This shot really illustrates the tight curve and undulating track.
