A CN train heading north from North Fond du Lac at Nekimi Avenue. The train is approaching Country Club Road, which it crossed at grade on an acute angle. The grade crossing has been closed, but provides a nice out of the way place to park when watching the railroad action or the wildlife frolic. |

CN 9452 |
| Description: |
Running out of Neenah, the "Thilmany" job passes the former Chicago and Northwestern depot on the north side of the Fox River at Kaukauna. The CNW had another station on the south side of the river too, which is gone. This one still hangs on to existence, within the confines of fencing put in some time after the Fox River Valley Railroad sold out to the Wisconsin Central. |

| Description: |
A CN Neenah / Menasha local switch job in what is left of the former C&NW yard in Neenah. Forest Avenue is the grade crossing to the front. The St. Thomas Episcopal Church steeple can be seen in the distance. The buildings in front of the church are apartments. The apartments and the Gree space to the right of the train were once a Firestone and a Food Queen business, respectively. The building on the left is Forest Island Warehouse, which still gets a fair amount of rail traffic. I have read that they do a lot of warehousing for the paper industry, Neenah Paper in particular. |

| Description: |
The 9524 has brought the covered hoppers from the 3M plant back to the former CNW yard and waits for it's next assignment. While the CNW yard is still going, the Milwaukee Road yard in Wausau has been torn out now that Wausau is only a one railroad town. There is still an ancillary yard on the west side of the Wisconsin River, along the CNW R.o.W. for serving the industry on that side of the river. |

The 9601 takes on fuel as the 4100 waits its turn."When the CNW worked out of this yard the engine servicing facilities were a bit less"spartan. The facilities were behind the trees and included an engine house. I can't recall a turntable in the early 1980's. The area that held the CNW's eneine facilities, thouxh now gone, is the site of a good busy rail served customer. |
