U.S. Paper Converters         
Located along the former CNW right of way from Appleton to New London (the current terminus)is U.S. Paper Converters. This facility is fairly busy with rail traffic on a route originally built by the Milwaukee, Lakeshore & Western Railway. The 796 mile Milwaukee, Lakeshore & Western was bought by the Chicago & Northwestern August 19, 1893. Much of this once major player in Wisconsin rail's track has been abandoned over the decades. U.S. Paper Converters has numerous car spots and will hopefully continue to provide business for years to come on this now Canadian National line.

Randy Curlin General Is this still being operated by UP? I see the oversized green reflector. UP added similar ones in my area. They didn't know how to add reflectors to the smaller dwarf ones so UP yanked them up. 5/8/2015 10:27:52 AM
