Catalyst Paper Spur |
| Description: |
GTW 6226 can be seen pulling upgrade from the Catalyst Paper mill located along the Wisconsin River in Biron. Not to be confused with Byron or Byron Hill along the former Soo Line (Wisconsin Central), Biron is located along the former Green Bay and Western route between Plover and Wisconsin Rapids. Catalyst Paper has what has become typical of most large mills. It has changed hands numerous times in the last couple decades. Most recently, since this photo was taken, the mill has been sold to the Hong Kong based Nine Dragons and is now called ND Paper, Biron. Nine Dragons acquired two mills from Catalyst in 2018 and will be investing a great deal of money into the plants. The Biron mill will be getting a $189 million investment. |

A CN local appears from behind an old, seemingly idle, industrial facility (partially visible at right) as it heads northeast via former C&NW rail at Appleton, WI on 4 Mar. '18. I haven’t found much information about the facility's current or former occupants. Earthkote International, Inc. is one previous occupant and there is a small Miller Electric sign on the southwest wall. Train was headed for Little Chute and Kaukauna and had two locomotives, GTW 6226 and CN 9530. |

| Description: |
A CN local parallels Milwaukee St. and approaches 7th St. as it heads north via former MILW rails at Menasha, WI on 19 Mar. '18. Train was headed for LSC Communications, Inc. (formerly RR Donnelley, originally Banta Corp.). Dura-Fibre, LLC, is partially visible behind the locomotive. Organized as the National Tractor & Machinery Co. at Chicago in 1916 (some references state ’18). They reorganized as the Uncle Sam Tractor and Machinery Co. ca. Mar. ’18 and moved to Menasha, WI ca. Feb. ‘19. They constructed a new 60’ x 125’ factory and 25’ x 40’ office building at 344 6th St. and erected 2 additions in ’20, with further expansion in ’22. The company reorganized as Wisconsin Automotive Corp. ca. ’23 in order to add automobiles to its line of products, particularly the Harris Six. They went out of business sometime between ’24 and ’28. The Neenah Shoe Co. occupied the plant in ’28. The Wisconsin Container Corp. was organized ca. ’31 to manufacture solid fiber and corrugated containers at this facility. The company was acquired by Menasha Corp. ca. ’69 and became their Solid Fibre Division. On 8 Feb. ’73, Menasha Corp. was granted a trademark for their “Grain-tainer” fiberboard grain doors for boxcars, but I’m not positive if they were made here or at another Menasha Corp. facility. Menasha Corp. sold the facility in ’04 and the name was changed to Dura-Fibre at some point. |

| Description: |
CN local crosses the former joint MILW/SOO bridge over the South Channel (Neenah Channel) of the Fox River at Neenah, WI on 19 Mar. '18. As you can see, construction of the new pedestrian bridge is nearing completion. The new bridge is part of Neenah and Menasha's Loop-the-Lake project to connect existing recreational trails in the Twin Cities. A similar bridge over the North Channel (Menasha Channel) is nearing completion in Menasha. I'm looking forward to utilizing the new trail sections, but I will miss the once panoramic view of this railroad bridge. The Menasha bridge will not be as close to the railroad bridge and will provide a view heretofore only attainable with a boat. |

GTW 6226 |
| Description: |
A CN local parallels Harrison St. and approaches the W. Cecil St. overpass (Timothy Hamblin Bridge) as it returns to the south end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 10 Aug. '18. In the background, a container train approaches the W. Bell St. overpass. Container train had two locomotives, CN 2259 and CN 2156. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible in the background at left. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about half-a-mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished. The silo of American Colloid Co., 901 Acco Ave., an active rail customer, is visible in the background, near the center of the photograph. A remnant of the former C&NW main line can be seen at far left, on the other side of the clump of trees. |

GTW 6226 and CN 9530 |
| Description: |
A CN local crosses Thilmany Rd. and traverses the former C&NW bridge over the Fox River as it services the Expera Specialty Solutions paper mill at Kaukauna, WI on 26 Sep. '18. Founded as the American Pulp & Paper Co. in 1883, it became Thilmany Pulp & Paper Co. in ‘89 after Oscar Thilmany bought out his partners and renamed it. It became Expera Specialty Solutions on 26 Jun. 2013, after KPS Capital Partners, LP, acquired it and Wausau Specialty Papers. The original Thilmany facility stood just out-of-frame to the left, until the majority of it was destroyed in 2013. The oldest part of that complex (the Eagle Paper & Flouring Mill) was saved and restored to house the Kaukauna Library and some offices. The bridge was built by American Bridge Co. of New York in 1911. |
