The pine tree 1500
Title:  The pine tree 1500
Description:  When I walked out of the hobby store I caught this 1500 doing a little switching on the tracks along the building. A few of these 1500's were painted with a pine tree on the side of the hood to honor the paper/pulpwood industry in Wisconsin. This engine is in pretty rough shape but you can still see the pine tree.

CN 2921, CN 3260, CN 2843, WC 1552
Title:  CN 2921, CN 3260, CN 2843, WC 1552
Description:  A CN through freight leans into the west leg of the wye as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 9 May '20. On the far side of the train lies Arrowhead Park, a closed paper sludge landfill. Before the landfill was opened in the '50s, the south shore of Little Lake Butte des Morts came right up to the north leg of the wye, which bisects the scene. Toward the right, a large quantity of fill is being added to the eastern half of the park, in preparation of future improvements. The Fox Valley Energy Center (formerly Minergy Fox Valley Glass Aggregate Plant) dominated the eastern half of the landfill/park from its opening in Jan. '98 until demolition was completed in the spring of '16. The former C&NW bridge across Little Lake Butte des Morts, now part of the Friendship Trail (often erroneously referred to as the Trestle Trail), can be seen in the background. The Roland Kampo Bridge, a.k.a. the Polish Connection, can be seen beyond that.
