CN 4705
Title:  CN 4705
Description:  The 4705 and an unknown second unit wait for clearance thru Shawano Jct. with a solid train of covered hoppers. It is an uncommon sight to see a train waiting to return to Neenah on the Shawano subdivision at this early morning hour. This was between 0717 hours.

CN 4705
Title:  CN 4705
Description:  The local in Menasha crosses Water Street and enters the thru plate girder swing bridge across the Fox River navigation canal. The bridge was put in by the Milwaukee Road (Milwaukee and Northern) in 1905 to reach Neenah. The former Milwaukee and Northern depot in Neenah still stands in good repair in 2014.

CN 4705
Title:  CN 4705
Description:  The Menasha local has crossed the navigation canal and a few diamonds on an island filled with intricate track work for switching a handful of industries in Menasha and Neenah as it starts to cross the Fox River to Doty Island as it returns to the former Soo Line yard in Neenah. The train will need to cross one more span over the Fox as it leaves Doty Island on the Neenah side.

CN 4705
Title:  CN 4705
Description:  Canadian National usually works Oshkosh at night, running a turn from Neenah. The local is caught here on the east side of the Jackson Street grade crossing. It is between Jackson Street (State Road 76) and Main on the north end of town. The train will be headed to switch covered hoppers stored on the west end of this former CNW industrial spur used in service with Bemis Performance and Pacur. A good sign here is two empty center beam bulkhead flats that could have only come from Noffke Lumber. That is a good sign of activity at the lumber yard.

CN 4705
Title:  CN 4705
Description:  Typically I would not post such a poorly focused image, however I found it a unique sight to find a light engine movement so far out from Menasha. The unit is about 13 miles out of Menasha, approaching County Road B and MP14 on the Manitowoc Sub, heading long hood first for Hilbert Junction.

CN 4705
Title:  CN 4705
Description:  A lone engine crosses the County Road B grade crossing at MP 14 on the Manitowoc Sub. The train is seen through the windshield of a vehicle, which explains the image quality, or lack thereof. The Saint John-Sacred Heart Church steeple can be seen over the trees.
