| A CN local crosses Garfield Ave. at the northwest end of the former C&NW yard on Doty Island at Menasha, WI, on 4 Nov. '20. The former Graphic Packaging International facility, originally Marathon Corp., 160 Washington St., is partially visible to the left. The oldest part of the facility was built in Apr. '47 to manufacture cartons for food packaging. The land had previously been used for stave and lumber drying yards for Menasha Wooden Ware. The facility operated continuously until the end of 2016, when Graphic Packaging International abandoned 228 hardworking Americans by moving production out-of-state. The former C&NW depot/yard office is partially visible to the right. The station sign says Neenah but it is actually located in Menasha. The border between the Twin Cities is about 750 feet to the south (right). The depot/yard office was built by the C&NW in 1965 at a cost of $15,000. |
