CN 4715 |
| Description: |
The CN 4715 heads into the storage track to pick up another cut of covered hoppers in Hilbert. The unit's train is set on a connecting track from the Manitowoc Subdivision to the Plymouth Subdivision (both former Wisconsin Central designations). The train came from Neenah via the Manitowoc sub and connected with the Plymouth sub thru St. Paul switch. St. Paul switch is the point at which trackage rights Soo trains left Milwaukee Road rails between Menasha and Hilbert and went on eastward to Manitowoc. |

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. |

Green Bay to Stevens Point train caught running through the fromer CNW Appleton yard. As usual, a second unit is on the rear of the train. The placement of the second unit on the rear allows the CN to avoid a run around move at Neenah. This method was brought into practice by the Wisconsin Central after it bought the FRV. |
