Album Info:Canadian National locals working in the twin cities of Neenah and Menasha. The track used by the CN here was at one time the domain of three competing railroads, the Milwaukee Road, Chicago and Northwestern as well as the Soo Line. The tracks arrangements and industrial base of the area have changed considerably since becoming a one railroad area.

GTW 4907
Title:  GTW 4907
Description:  Large, wet and heavy snowflakes are coming down as this CN local bears down on the Oneida Street grade crossing in Menasha. The train originated in Neenah and is heading for Hilbert to work the Plymouth Sub. This does not look like a good day to be a conductor on this ruo.
