| A CN local crosses N. Oneida St. as it heads southwest via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI on 1 Jul. '18. One of the C&NW's 3 Appleton depots stood to the right, on the south (right) side of the tracks between N. Appleton St. and N. Oneida St. The downtown depot closed ca. 1958 and passenger operations were concentrated at the Appleton Junction depot. There used to be at least 5 tracks here in front of the depot, now, only 1. The historic, tan building in the background was the S. C. Shannon Co., 531 N. Morrison St., 767-779 Morrison St. in original street numbering system. The facility is currently occupied by the Appleton Area School District and Aramark Food Service. Previous occupants include General Cheese Co., Inc., ca. '58. It used to receive rail service, but has not for quite some time. The short, black metal fence guards the boundary of Oneida Heights, 525 N. Oneida St., an apartment complex for seniors. It was built upon the site of several historic, rail served industries. Train was headed back toward Neenah after working Little Chute and Kaukauna. |
