GTW 4934
Title:  GTW 4934
Description:  A GTW unit moves along an industrial spur towards the Washington Street grade crossing. The trees make it hard to see, but the unit is traversing between two old defunct rail served buildings to which the turnouts have been removed and mother nature is trying to reclaim. To get to this point, the crew has taken a turnout from the former CNW Neenah Yard on it's north end and ducked in behind the buildings. This spur used to go all the way to serve Gilbert Paper Comany but now only serves the former General Chemical facility. I noticed the General Chemical facility has recently changed names since the new year, unfortunately I do not recall the new name.

GTW 4934
Title:  GTW 4934
Description:  After departing the former CNW Neenah Yard and running between some buildings in close proximity to the track, the 4934 crosses Washington Street. The CN uses these former CNW rails to serve what was a General Chemical facility. The spur also served Gilbert Paper Company from the south side of the Fox River and used to get at least two switches per day. Gilbert Paper also had another spur leading to it that came across the river and had boxcars spotted on that side of the building upon a trestle.

GTW 4934
Title:  GTW 4934
Description:  After departing the former CNW Neenah Yard and crossing Washington Street, the 4934 continues down the winding former CNW spur to serve the last remaining industry on this spur. Satellite images reveal where the rails used to reach before being torn up. The rails may be gone, but the right of way can still be made out.

GTW 4934
Title:  GTW 4934
Description:  The Neenah/Menasha local pulls up along the Menasha navigation canal and River Street. The next move the train makes will be to back up through the former Menasha Utilities property onto the former CNW main and then on into the former CNW Neenah Yard. This yard is now only two tracks. The crew will service a few industries from that yard.

GTW 4934
Title:  GTW 4934
Description:  The former CNW station in Neenah overlooks as GTW 4934 shoves a cut of boxcars across Commercial Street. This former CNW mainline is now truncated about a half mile to the rear of this unit at Neenah Paper. Neenah Paper is served via a switch back across the Neenah channel. If any of these cars are to be spotted at the Neenah Paper mill, they will need to be ran around. There is also a warehouse along this line, which the cars are in position to be spotted in relationship to the loco.
