A view of the west end of the north side of Pluswood. This shows one of the two spurs serving the factory, both on the north side of the facility. the foreground track was part of the CNW system that looped around the north side of Oshkosh and also branched off toward Hortonville and New London until it was truncated at the wye near Lake Butte des Morts sometime in the late 1970's or early 1980's. It was further truncated in the 1990's with the purchase of CNW's replacement in the area, FRV by the WC. The WC eliminated the wye and cut the rails short of what was then HWY 110 (now 45) and eliminated all the track heading back into Oshkosh along the shorline of the lake/river. That portion of track had become idle due to customer base changes in shipping/receiving. |
