Album Info:Most of the photographs in this album were captured in Northeast Wisconsin in the winter 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.

Title:  CN 2512, CN 4788 and GTW 4924
Description:  CN local waits on the siding along W. Butte des Morts Beach Rd. as a CN through freight heads southwest via former C&NW rails at Milepost 211 at Stroebe, WI on 31 Dec. '15. The local was headed for Appleton, Little Chute and Kaukauna and had two locomotives, CN 4788 and GTW 4924. I don't know the through freight's origin or destination, but it had one locomotive, CN 2512.

CN 2245, BNSF 7501, BNSF 8474, et al.
Title:  CN 2245, BNSF 7501, BNSF 8474, et al.
Description:  CN mixed freight crosses the frozen Rat River via the former SOO bridge and bisects the Rat River Wildlife Area as it speeds southeast at Medina Junction, WI on 23 Jan. '16. Train had five locomotives, CN 2245, BNSF 7501, BNSF 8474, CN 5552, CN 2344(?). I did not anticipate 5 locomotives, if I had I would have attempted to gain a vantage point from which I might have captured all of them in 1 frame.

Description:  An interesting remnant of a bygone Wisconsin railroad, AGR 6771, formerly MT&W, in the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI on 30 Jan. '16. I don't encounter these cars often, so I was surprised to spot two of them on consecutive days.

CN 2909, et al.
Title:  CN 2909, et al.
Description:  A southbound CN tank car unit train passes the yard office in an unusually empty former C&NW yard at Oshkosh, WI on 10 Feb. '16. Normally this view of the facility is blocked by the cars in the yard. I've never seen this yard completely empty. The building on the right sits at the approximate location of the C&NW's South Oshkosh depot, a smaller, plainer structure than their once ornate Oshkosh depot which still stands less than a mile to the north. Historically, everything south of the Fox River was once known as South Oshkosh. The C&NW 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. Train had three locomotives, CN 2811 and CN 2873 pulling, as well as CN 2909 pushing.
