Two boxcars spotted at Neenah Paper in the once thriving Appleton "flats" industrial area. The "flats" was once full of industry and the manufacturing jobs it supplied. Most of the area is now being redeveloped into apartments and condos. The jobs are gone. This spur has the last remaining car spots in existence in the "flats'. The only remaining track left besides this spur is the mainline of the Kimberly Subdivision, which runs through the "flats" to reach Kimberly and Combined Locks. Neenah Paper's spur has spots for two boxcars and another spot for either a tank or covered hopper supplying chemicals. The spot for the chemical car has not been used for a very long time. |
