A CN local pauses at River St. near Washington St. after servicing U.S. Paper Mills Corp. (out-of-frame to the left) at Menasha, WI, on 27 Dec. '18. I’m not sure who these rails originally belonged to, the MILW, SOO, and C&NW all had access to this small industrial island for many years. Some ground-hugging steam generated by the facility adds some interest to the scene on this already overcast day (obviously, some viewers may not share my assessment and enthusiasm of the scene). I was intrigued by the presence of a pair of local law enforcement vehicles, with their lights activated. One is out-of-frame to the left, another rests next to the hi-rail. |
