GTW 4928         
A CN local serving industries along what was once the main right of way thru the Fox Cities for the CNW. Ther crew is crossing Commercial Street in Neenah. The CNW's yard was right in this area with at least three tracks crossing Comercial Street. Currently only two tracks cross the road with only a few businesses receiving rail service to the 4928's rear. The middle section of the CNW route thru Neenah has been torn out, but businesses are still served on each side of town with access from the former Soo Line right of way. The yard that was here which the CNW worked out of to serve Neenah and Menasha has been stripped of about half of its tracks and now only serves to organize the local's cars for switching the industries reached from this point.

Richard Hopfensperger General It sure is more difficult to catch a train here now than it was in the CNW days. 7/20/2014 1:24:00 PM
T. P. Bruss General I get depressed when I contemplate how many photos I could have captured when it was CNW. 7/22/2014 4:03:43 AM
