Viewing Album: Northeast and Northwest WI and Twin Ports, Summer 2016
By:
T. P. Bruss
Dates:
6/20/2016 - 9/21/2016
Album Info:
Most of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the summer of 2016, so they are mostly CN operating on former C&NW, GB&W, MILW, and SOO rails. Once in a while I try to catch ELS and WSOR on former MILW rails too. This album includes photographs from a trip to the Twin Ports of Duluth, MN and Superior, WI.

Title:
CN 2252 and CN 2309 on the Oliver Bridge
Description:
A CN container train crosses the unique double decked Oliver Bridge as it heads west via former DM&IR rails at Oliver, WI on 26 Jun. '16. Train had four locomotives, CN 2831 and CN 8024 pulling and CN 2252 and CN 2309 pushing. The Oliver Bridge is a double-deck, Warren truss, swing bridge built by the American Bridge Co. in 1910. It was built to connect the Spirit Lake Transfer Railway in MN to the Interstate Transfer Railway in WI, both became part of the DM&N. The bridge was named in honor of Henry W. Oliver, founder the Oliver Mining Co. It is 1,889’ long, 25’ wide, with a 306’ swing span. Due to the intent to span a navigable interstate waterway, the plans needed the approval of the War Dept. and Congress. The War Dept. required a movable span to enable river traffic. Congress required the accommodation of vehicular traffic. The railroads initially ignored the requirement to accommodate vehicular traffic; while most of the lower deck was built with the rest of the bridge in ‘10, the decking for the roadway was not installed and the approaches to connect roads to the bridge were not built. They ultimately conceded in ‘16 and the lower deck opened to traffic in ‘17. The roadway decking consisted of wooden planks until the timbers were replaced with concrete in 2001. The upper deck was built to be double tracked, but it is uncertain if it ever was. Some references are positive that it was double tracked, but one set was removed at some unknown point. Other references are sure that the second set of tracks were intended for an interurban line which ultimately never crossed the bridge, so that second set was never laid. Several references claim the bridge never operated as swing bridge, but there is plenty of information on the internet (if you extend your search beyond Wikipedia) to confirm that it did indeed function as such from when it was built until ca. ‘47. From about 1890 until at least 1942, excursion boats made frequent runs from Duluth to Fond du Lac, MN to carry passengers for day trips, weekend outings, and vacations. The Clow & Nicholson Transportation Co. was the prominent excursion line, from at least 1902 to 1942 their steamers Plowboy, Newsboy, Rotarian, Columbia, and Montauk (possibly others) made the 19 mile trip up river. A Minn. DoT bridge report also states that the DM&N, later DM&IR, had a bridge tender on duty continuously, in accordance with navigation laws, until 1953. That is when they received permission to stop manning the bridge due to the decline of river traffic, but they were required to maintain the ability to open the bridge on 3 hours’ notice if a ship needed to pass. The swing mechanism was disabled at some point.

WGNS 423, WGNS 32 Apostle Isle, WGNS 112 Richard F. Gilberg, WGNS 862
Description:
WGNS 423, WGNS 32 Apostle Isle (buffet/diner), WGNS 112 Richard F. Gilberg (bar/club car), WGNS 862 parked on former C&NW rails along Hwy. 53 at Town of Trego, Washburn Co., WI on 26 Jun. '16. The F7A was built in Oct. '49 as CNW 4076A. WGNS 32 was built in 1918 by ACF (some references state Pullman) as D&IR 32 (coach). Converted to DMIR W-32. Sold to WGNS and converted to a buffet/diner. Some references state it was built in 1918 by Pullman for D&NM. WGN did have it numbered D&NM 32 Apostle Isle in the past. WGNS 112 was built in 1911 by ACF for DM&N 112 (mail/express/baggage). Converted to DM&IR W-112. Sold to WGNS and converted to bar/club car. The SW1 is stenciled as "WGN 862" but WGN does not appear to be an official reporting mark, WGNS appears on some authoritative lists, WGNX appears on a few. Trego was originally Superior Junction, it was renamed Mills on 2 Feb. '04, and assumed its current moniker on 6 Apr. '06.

CN 4805
Description:
CN local crosses the South Channel (Neenah Channel) of the Fox River via former C&NW bridge at Neenah, WI on 3 Jul. '16. Train was preparing to service Neenah Paper, partially visible in the background. The company was founded at Neenah, WI, as the Patten Paper Co. by Azel Wilder Patten in 1873. The original 150’ by 40’ paper mill was built in ‘74 on the former site of the Empire Flour Mill and several smaller businesses. In ‘81, A. W. Patten built a second Patten Paper Co. mill at Appleton, WI. Samuel A. Cook and Frank T. Russell purchased the Neenah mill in early ‘85 and incorporated as the Neenah Paper Co., with A. W. Patten as president. When the original portion of the paper mill was built, 4 other sizeable industries stood between its west wall and Cedar St., now N. Commercial St. Numerous additions were erected over the years as the mill expanded westward and northward (some additions were built on pilings above the Fox River). By ’26, when their Mediterranean Revival-style office building was constructed, they occupied the entire small peninsula east of Commercial St. Neenah Paper Co. officially became a division of Kimberly-Clark Corp. in ‘56, and operated as such until it was spun off in 2004.

The Kimberly-Clark Corp. Globe Mill and Experimental Mill (X-Mill) are visible in the background. The Globe Mill is still commonly referred to as K-C's Badger-Globe Mill, although the Badger Mill was torn down ca. 1998. The mills were rail customers for a long time, but have not benefited from rail service for many years.

Description:
CN local services Neenah Paper via former C&NW rails at Neenah, WI on 3 Jul. '16. The building on the left is the original portion of the mill, the addition on the right was built sometime after 1913. The spur the locomotive is resting on used to be two tracks that curved to the west along the river bank, crossed N. Commercial St. to serve other mills, and connect to the joint MILW/SOO rails. The company was founded at Neenah, WI, as the Patten Paper Co. by Azel Wilder Patten in 1873. The original 150’ by 40’ paper mill was built in ‘74 on the former site of the Empire Flour Mill and several smaller businesses. In ‘81, A. W.

Description:
CN local traverses what used to be the west leg of a joint wye for the MILW and SOO at Menasha, WI on 10 Jul. '16. It is no longer a wye because the east leg was removed years ago. As a result, local crews have about a 2-mile shove to serve several customers on the former MILW rails. Part of the SCA Tissue mill looms in the background. The facility used to receive rail service, but has not for quite a few years.

CN local works in the former SOO yard at Menasha, WI on 28 Aug. '16. The facility in the background is currently home to Alliance Industries, 320 Appleton St., Menasha, WI, they apply powder coatings and manufacture sand cores. Founded at Waupaca, WI in 1979, they leased this facility in 2005. They later purchased the facility as well as the adjacent one at 313 Appleton St. The facility was home to Menasha Mill Supply Co. from at least 1939 through the 1970s, they primarily processed waste paper. It clearly used to receive rail service, but it does not seem to currently. The former MILW yard was located on the other (south) side of it; the building could be serviced by both railroads simultaneously.

CN local services Intertape Polymer Group (IPG) via former SOO rails at Menasha, WI on 28 Aug. '16. Founded in Menasha in Dec. 1917 as George Banta Paper Co., an affiliate of the George Banta Publishing Co. They merged with Menasha’s Gebrick Paper Co. in ’19 and continued under the Banta name. The name was changed to Central Paper Products Co. (later shortened to Central Paper Co.) ca. Sep. ’20, about the same time they moved to their new location here. George Banta, Sr. continued on as President; George, Jr., assumed the role in ’35 after his father passed away. The facility was acquired by Alco Standard Corp., based in Valley Forge, PA, ca. 29 Sep. ’69 but continued to operate as Central Paper. The name changed to Central Products Co. at some point after ’74. Spinnaker Industries, Inc. purchased Central Products Co. from Alco ca. 1 Jul. ‘95. Intertape Polymer Group, Inc., from Canada, purchased Central Products from Spinnaker ca. 12 Apr. ’99.

GTW 4911
Description:
CN local services Intertape Polymer Group (IPG) via former SOO rails at Menasha, WI on 28 Aug. '16. Founded in Menasha in Dec. 1917 as George Banta Paper Co., an affiliate of the George Banta Publishing Co. They merged with Menasha’s Gebrick Paper Co. in ’19 and continued under the Banta name. The name was changed to Central Paper Products Co. (later shortened to Central Paper Co.) ca. Sep. ’20, about the same time they moved to their new location here. George Banta, Sr. continued on as President; George, Jr., assumed the role in ’35 after his father passed away. The facility was acquired by Alco Standard Corp., based in Valley Forge, PA, ca. 29 Sep. ’69 but continued to operate as Central Paper. The name changed to Central Products Co. at some point after ’74. Spinnaker Industries, Inc. purchased Central Products Co. from Alco ca. 1 Jul. ‘95. Intertape Polymer Group, Inc., from Canada, purchased Central Products from Spinnaker ca. 12 Apr. ’99.

CN 9513 and CN 4711
Description:
CN local crosses the turnout for the north leg of the wye as it traverses the east leg of the wye at north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 28 Aug ’16. The rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties in the foreground rest atop the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. It was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened. Plexus and the Affinity clinic in the background were erected on part of the site of the former P. H. Glatfelter Co. paper mill, which stood here for 135 years, the oldest part of the original mill was constructed in 1874. Glatfelter purchased the mill from Bergstrom Paper Co. in 1979. Bergstrom had purchased the mill, originally Winnebago Paper, in 1904. Glatfelter moved the jobs to Ohio in June 2006, the mill stood idle for about two years until it was torn down, demolition was completed in May 2009. The steel skeleton of Neenah's latest repugnant, modern office building rises background right. There is not much room for historic buildings or classic architecture in Future Neenah. I believe the train was preparing to head toward Manitowoc.

The former site of the CN/C&NW yard at Oshkosh, WI.
Description:
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.
