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.

Description:  Looking east down the tracks across Wesley Street at the former Soo Line station. This view shows how much the sidng drops down from the main to work Waupaca Foundry Plant 1.
