A CN local parallels and then crosses S. Whitman Ave. as it returns to the former C&NW yard from the former SOO yard at Appleton Junction, WI, on 17 Sep. '21. The middle track was once the MLS&W main line, now it is the north leg of the wye. The lower track is the west leg of the wye. Local had one locomotive, CN 4775. An old caboose is displayed to the left. It is painted as RI 17177 or CRIP 17177. Some references claim it was not their caboose, but MILW. The facility partially visible in the background was occupied by WOW Logistics and PODS Self-Storage, 1840 W. Spencer St., Appleton, WI. The WOW Logistics sign notes that the facility is for lease, I haven't noticed any PODS activity lately either. The facility has a spur which has not been used for quite a while. |
