GTW 5855 |
| Description: |
A CN local parallels Garner's Creek and crosses State St. as it approaches the remnants of the former C&NW yard at Combined Locks, WI, on 6 Nov. '21. Local was preparing to service the Midwest Paper Group mill, 540 Prospect St., looming in the background. 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. Some of the rails were pulled up from this small yard in '13. All that remains is a runaround to access a pair of spurs for this side of the mill and a spur for a warehouse out-of-frame to the right (that spur does not appear to be used much, if at all, currently). |

A CN local prepares to switch the Midwest Paper Group mill via former C&NW rails at Combined Locks, WI, on 6 Nov. '21.

By some miracle, they changed their minds and restarted the paper machines. The facility was re-named Midwest Paper Group ca. 19 Apr. ’18. 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. It looks like there used to be a RR crossing gates at both blue lights. |

| Description: |
A CN local passes under E. College Ave. and over E. Banta Ct. as it descends into 'The Flats' via former C&NW rails at Appleton, WI, on 6 Nov. '21. Over the past several years, I have notice that some misinformed individuals erroneously refer to ‘The Flats’ as ‘Oneida Flats,’ or some other variation. However, the historic, industrial heart of Appleton is simply ‘The Flats.’ Many years ago it was referred to 'The Water Power.' |
