FOXY Power in CNs Neenah Yard
Title:  FOXY Power in CNs Neenah Yard
Description:  Seen from the West Cecil bridge, four lease units sit in CNs Neenah yard. It appeared either WATCO of CN employees had started the units and were inspecting the locomotives. The four units will be brought to Appleton yard where WATCOs Fox Valley and Lake Superior (FOXY) will take over two CN branch lines (among many others in Wisconsin) on January 29th 2022. The closest locomotive to the camera is HLCX 3880 (GP38-2) and the furthest is HLCX 1042 (GP38-2). I was unable to get the other two units reporting marks. Nearby sit CN 9515 (GP40-2LW) and GTW 4906 (GP38-2).

HLCX 3880 and HLCX 1037
Title:  HLCX 3880 and HLCX 1037
Description:  A FV&LS (or FOXY) train crosses the Fox River Navigation Canal via the former CN, historically C&NW, swing bridge in 'The Flats' at Appleton, WI, on 22 Mar. ‘22. I haven't noticed a builder's plate, but according to bridgehunter.com, the Warren through truss swing bridge was built in 1908. However, a recent contributor to that site believes it was built after 1919. A photograph caption in the Post-Crescent on 29 May 1974 states that the bridge was "nearly 50 years old." Over the past several years, I have noticed that some misinformed individuals erroneously refer to ‘The Flats’ as ‘Oneida Flats,’ or some other variation. For all of my life, the historic, industrial heart of Appleton has been simply ‘The Flats.’ However, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was referred to as 'The Water Power.'

HLCX 3880 and HLCX 1037
Title:  HLCX 3880 and HLCX 1037
Description:  A FV&LS (or FOXY) train, with a particularly unfriendly crew, parallels Garner's Creek and crosses State St. as it prepares to service the Midwest Paper Group mill at Combined Locks, WI, via former CN, historically C&NW, rails on 22 Mar. '22. Founded in 1889 (some references state 1892) as the Combined Locks Paper Co., it became Combined Paper Mills, Inc. in ‘46 after it purchased a paper mill in PA. Acquired by the National Cash Register Co. in ‘69, it was merged with Appleton Coated Paper Co. in ‘71 to form Appleton Papers, Inc. Commonly known as Appleton Papers Locks Mill, it has been controlled by several different domestic and foreign owners over the years. It was separated from Appleton Papers in ‘00 and became Appleton Coated, LLC. Ten members of the mill’s management purchased the facility from France-based Sequana SA on 19 Dec. ’14. Forced into receivership, it was purchased by scrap dealers, Industrial Assets Corp. and Maynards Industries USA, in Oct. ’17. They bought it to shut it down and gut it. By some miracle, they changed their minds and restarted the paper machines. The facility was re-named Midwest Paper Group ca. 19 Apr. ’18. McKinley Paper Co., a subsidiary of Mexico-based Bio PAPPEL, purchased the facility ca. 3 Feb. '22. Unbelievably, this antagonistic train crew reported me the Outagamie Co. Sheriff's Dept. As I was watching them switch the mill, I saw a deputy pull up to a member of the train crew. The crew member pointed to me and then the deputy drove up to me. The friendly and professional deputy rolled down his window and said, "There is some concern down by the mill about what you are doing up here." I told him, "I'm just watching the train." He said, "You're OK. You can keep doing what you're doing." We wished each other a good day, and he drove away. I was standing on a public sidewalk 400' from railroad property. At no point during the brief chase on this day did I set foot off of a public sidewalk or public street.

HLCX 3880 and HLCX 1037
Title:  HLCX 3880 and HLCX 1037
Description:  A FV&LS (or FOXY) train, with a particularly unfriendly crew, feebly attempts to temporarily spot a boxcar as they service the Midwest Paper Group mill at Combined Locks, WI, via former CN, historically C&NW, rails on 22 Mar. '22. Unfortunately, this crew member failed to adequately set the brakes on this boxcar. As soon as the locomotives uncoupled, the boxcar obediently followed right behind them. It rolled far enough to foul the spur from which they intended to extract several other boxcars. I almost never experience schadenfreude, but in this particular instance, I did. This antagonistic train crew reported me the Outagamie Co. Sheriff's Dept. As I was watching them switch the mill, I saw a deputy pull up to a member of the train crew. The crew member pointed to me and then the deputy drove up to me.

There are flashing blue lights on both sides of the driveway (at left) and a sign that says "Train in the area when flashing, proceed with caution". The RR crew turns on the lights when they arrive. There used to be crossing gates at both blue lights.

The friendly and professional deputy rolls down his window and says, "There is some concern down by the mill about what you are doing up here." I told him, "I'm just watching the train." He said, "You're OK. You can keep doing what you're doing." We wished each other a good day, and he drove away. I was standing on a public sidewalk 400' from railroad property. At no point during the brief chase on this day did I set foot off of a public sidewalk or public street.

C. Siding at Combined Locks, WI, on 22 Mar. '22. After dropping the majority of their train at the siding, they are now headed for Warehouse Specialists, Inc. (WSI), 100 Prospect St. There used to be a station sign here for L. C. Siding, but the last time I saw it was Sep. '17.
