MrLuebeck's video: Railfanning Neenah WI March 24 2023

To start the day, I would set up just on the north side of North Anton between Dale and Readfield for S751. 0:00 CN S751 (Hawthorne, IL/NS-Independence, WI): CN 3254 ET44AC CN 3945 ES44AC (ex CREX 1430) CN 3825 ES44AC (Tier 4 Credit) Next is L535 heading down the Fox River Sub after servicing Appvion downtown Appleton. This is a customer that used to be served by the now abolished L521, but since the FOXY startup L535 has been handling this customer Monday Wednesday and Fridays. Once they're back in the West Yard in Neenah they would grab their boxcars for WSI and shove up the Neenah Sub to Clayton Ave. 1:47 CN L535 (Neenah, WI-Appleton, WI turn MWF): GTW 5847 GP38-2 (ex PLE 2054) Not too long after L535 shoved out to Clayton Ave, L533 heads out of Neenah over the Manitowoc Sub to Hilbert and then down the Chilton Sub to Chilton. In this clip they're coming up to the little yard in Menasha just after flagging for the crossing at 3rd and Tayco (aka the Problem Child crossing). 2:55 CN L533 (Neenah, WI-Chilton, WI turn MWF): GTW 4912 GP38-2 (ex GTW 5712, exx MP 2028, nee MP 877) While L535 was trying their best to complete their work at Clayton, they did have to clear for a few mainline trains on the Neenah Sub including the next few trains seen below. 3:45 CN M356 (Winnipeg, MB-Homewood, IL): CN 8958 SD70M-2 CN 8008 SD70M-2 7:50 CN B791 (Chicago, IL/IHB-Winnipeg, MB): CN 3816 ES44AC (Tier 4 Credit) CN 3813 ES44AC (Tier 4 Credit) 9:55 CN A447 (Gary, IN/Kirk-Green Bay, WI): CN 3120 ET44AC CN 3108 ET44AC (CN 100 logo) CN 5444 SD60 (ex GMTX/EMDX/OWY 9001) 14:02 CN U724 (Keenan, MN-Convent, LA): UP 6769 C44AC CN 3055 ET44AC DPU: CN 2902 ES44AC Once the loaded all-rail train cleared Clayton Ave, L535 was allowed to re-enter the Neenah Sub main, complete their work and head south towards Neenah yard. 16:51 CN L535 (Neenah, WI-Appleton, WI turn MWF): GTW 5847 GP38-2 (ex PLE 2054) Normally, L595 gets out ahead of L523, but with L535 finally getting out of Clayton Ave and having to work the main at Neenah North still along with M340 and M342 coming down, RTC let L523 out ahead and they can head up the Fox River Sub towards Appleton and Kaukauna. 17:53 CN L523 (Neenah, WI-Kaukauna, WI turn): IC 3101 GP40R (ex IC 3018 GP40) 19:36 CN M340 (Winnipeg, MB-Elkhart, IN/NS): CN 3146 ET44AC CN 2917 ES44AC mid DPU: CN 3027 ET44AC 23:04 CN M342 (Winnipeg, MB-Gary, IN/Kirk): CN 2920 ES44AC CN 3986 ES44AC (ex CREX 1517, Tier 4 Credit) mid DPU: CN 3844 ES44AC (Tier 4 Credit) Now that L535 is back in Neenah and the next few manifest trains have gone by, L595 can finally head out of Neenah and head up towards Waupaca. 26:36 CN L595 (Neenah, WI-Waupaca, WI turn): EJ&E 703 GP38-2 (ex BS 703, originally EJ&E 703) To finish the day off, L533 heads back to Neenah Yard passing by the former Milwaukee & Northern Neenah depot. 27:43 CN L533 (Neenah, WI-Chilton, WI turn MWF): GTW 4912 GP38-2 (ex GTW 5712, exx MP 2028, nee MP 877)
