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.

IC 9623
Title:  IC 9623
Description:  After servicing Chemtrade, a local working industry on Doty Island in Menasha and Neenah, must negotiate some tight turns on its way back to the former CNW main and yard. The track here runs between a warehouse on the left, right and the former CNW freight house beyond the locomotive. This shot really illustrates the tight curve and undulating track.
