| Looking southwest at the pitiful remnants of the CN, former C&NW, yard at Oshkosh, WI on 3 Sep. '16. The yard was torn up recently, after 157 years. There have been no cars spotted here since at least 31 Jan. '16. They did leave the passing siding and team track. The tan building to the right of the tracks sits at the approximate location of the C&NW's South Oshkosh depot, a smaller, more plain structure than their once ornate Oshkosh depot which still stands less than a mile to the north. The South Oshkosh depot was saved from demolition, but its current fate is unknown to me. I have seen post-relocation photographs of it on the internet, but they do not reveal its precise location. Some references state it was moved to downtown Oshkosh, others state it was moved to a park in Oshkosh. If it still survives, I have not found it yet. |
