Sighting down the line toward Neenah at Medina Junction. Stevens Point is to the rear of the photographer. The Medina Junction Road grade crossing is visible with its signals and gates. The old octagonal crossing shanty is still standing in this 2013 scene. The shanty protected the crossing of the CNW (Milwaukee Lakeshore and Western) and the Soo Line (original Wisconsin Central). The CNW line was abandoned in the 1970's and was the site of a collision involving both railroads. |

UP 5679 |
| Description: |
The CN train led by UP 5679 rolls under the Cecil Street overpass as it enters the heart of the former Soo Line yard at Neenah. The yard used to be mainly contained between Winneconne Avenue and Cecil Streets until overpasses were put in. The yard has expanded to the north and south with holding tracks since the overpass construction. The former CNW right of way which deviated to the east from the south end of this yard and ran through the center of Neenah now comes to an end about 1/4 mile up the line at a rail served factory. This section of CNW line has also been modified and is part of the yard facility here. |

IC 3138 |
| Description: |
A train is crossing over off the Shawano Subdivision onto the mainline of what I believe to be the Fox River Subdivision to pick up a cut of at least fifteen pulpwood and woodchip cars off the siding at Stroebe in the Town of Menasha. I am uncertain if the CN still refers to the line to Green Bay north of Neenah as the Fox River Subdivision as my information shows the Wisconsin Central had. |

| Description: |
The CN train crossing over from the Shawano sub onto the Fox River sub has made it onto the siding and must continue until the rear is clear of the turnout from the Shawano sub. Once clear of this cross over, the train will shove back to pick up a cut of woodchip and pulpwood cars. As cold as the weather was, this move took a while to complete. I hope the crewman on the ground was able to stay warm. |

The train has come to a stop, blocking Towmen Road as it waits for clearance to go thru the turnout where the tracks converge from Stevens Point and Shawano Jct. into Neenah. Supports for the Roland Kampo Bridge into Menasha are on the right. This is also the point where Butte des Morts Beach Road becomes North Lake Strret. |

EJE 672 |
| Description: |
Green Bay to Stevens Point train caught running through the fromer CNW Appleton yard. As usual, a second unit is on the rear of the train. The placement of the second unit on the rear allows the CN to avoid a run around move at Neenah. This method was brought into practice by the Wisconsin Central after it bought the FRV. |

About 2/3rds through the yard, the Green Bay to Steven Point train crosses S. Perkins Street. The end of the yard west of S. Perkins isn't used as much as the end to the east, but there is usually a cut of cars over there. |

CN 5672 |
| Description: |
A Green Bay to Stevens Point train waits for clearance thru Shawano Junction under the western approaches of the Roland Kampo Bridge.The train is waitng on the former CNW Valley Subdivision mainline adjacent to the Stroebe siding. Shawano Junction is behind the camera, to which the curving track connects. The Shawano Sub is parallel the track seen here to the left seperated by the trees. The CNW main here used to go straight towards the camera, and eventually curve to the right of the photo to cross Little Lake Buttes des Morts. The trestle is now part of a recreational trail. The CNW and the Soo Line, did not have a junction here while they owned these right of ways. The connection is courtesy of the Wisconsin Central after purchase of the FRVR. |
