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. |
