GTW 4924
Title:  GTW 4924
Description:  The crew of the 4924 is switching the Clearwater paper mill in Neenah, WI. Atb this point, the engine has cut off it's train and is backing a spur which will take them through one of Clearwater's buildings to gain access to another building that has the spots for railroad cars to be loaded/unloaded. A set of light CN units can be seen to the rear along with a stack train waiting in the hole. Eggers Industries (a door manufacturer) is the industry to the right of the scene.

GTW 4924
Title:  GTW 4924
Description:  Having passed through one of Clearwater's buildings, the 4924 then had to cross North Lake Street to get to this point. Once the mill opens the door, the unit will move in to pick up four boxcars from within. The train will then run the cars back to the small industrial servicing yard, drop them off, and take more cars to the mill to replace them.

GTW 4924
Title:  GTW 4924
Description:  A local approaches the Racine Street grade crossing in Menasha at mile post 2, from Neenah, on the Manitowoc Subdivision. Canadian National now owns this line that started as an original Wisconsin Central property. The line eventually went to Soo Line and then became a part of the modern Wisconsin Central until the CN bought them up. The Milwaukee Road (Milwaukee and Northern) ran parallel to these tracks in Menasha and granted the original WC/Soo Line trackage rights to Hilbert from the junction near the ends of their yards in Menasha.
