CN 9524         
A CN local switches Presto Products, 670 N. Perkins St., Appleton, WI (physically located in Town of Grand Chute) adjacent to the former SOO yard at Appleton, WI, on 23 Jun. '21. The station sign can be seen to the left of the locomotive. The depot stood a few blocks to the east, on a long spur that ran from the main line and along W. College Ave. into downtown Appleton. The depot was razed in 1970 and the spur was pulled up a decade or two after that (although the spur is still depicted on CN's interactive system map on their website). The main line forms the border between the Town of Grand Chute and the City of Appleton for this portion of that often ridiculously convoluted border. The facility partially visible to the right, currently home to Byproduct Recycling, has a pair of indoor spurs, but the turnout which once connected those spurs to the active rails is absent.
