ICG 246537 |
| Description: |
Gondolas full of shredded scrap metal are being sorted on the old CNW main which is now part of the CN yard in Neenah. The CNW ran parallel to the Soo Line here. The former Soo Line yard makes up the majority of the CN yard here. The CNW line in this part of Neenah ends about a quarter mile from this point, at an industry. These cars are most likely going to either Neenah Foundry, in town here, or to Waupaca Foundry. Waupaca is served by a turn which works out of Neenah. |

CNW Yard Removal |
| Description: |
The yard tracks are all removed from the old CNW yard in Oshkosh by the Canadian National. Oshkosh was once served by three class 1 carriers, each witt book List of Indh a yard to serve the local industry. The 1978 Milwaukee Road Freight Traffic Department book Industries Served, there are 49 industries listed that received rail service in Oshkosh. In 2017, there is only one Class 1 carrier (CN) and a regional carrier (WSOR) in town. They do not connect and can not interchange traffic in Oshkosh. Together they serve thirteen businesses. Neither railroad needs more than a double ended siding to have the capacity they need to do their switching in town now. |

MP 173 No Longer a Yard Location for the Canadian National |
| Description: |
The heavy work has all been done to remove the former CNW yard in Oshkosh. The CN no longer has the need for the capacity of the yard as the customer base shrinks in town. Utilizing the yard also caused some traffic issues since the yard was worked from the mainline. Though I don't know for certain, I would assume this helped make the decision to remove the yard. Sorting and storage of the cars once done in this yard is now accomplished on the two industrial spurs the CN has. One is located north of the Fox River, and the other on the south side. |
