LRC 606 |
| Description: |
The LRC 606 seems to be permanently attached to the Little Rapids Corporations specialty paper mill in Shawano. The red flag in the rail nearest the brush marks the eastern end of the line to Green Bay from Wausau. Just beyond the brush, the CNW bridge still stands for recreational users. Heading west from this direction, the CNW line is cut off in just a few miles, where it now curves to connect with the former Soo Line rail in town, which has also been cut to the west/north. Basically, to get to this mill, the CN arrives from Appleton on the former Soo track, continues out of town a few miles, loops back on a track connecting to the former CNW and back into town to this location. |

LRC 606 |
| Description: |
The Little Rapids Corporation in Shawano,WI has this old 40' car of an unknown origin painted up for the company. The car is connected by bridge plate to the loading bay at the time of this photo. The car is obviously not fit for interchange service, and I have never seen it moved for the two years I have known of it's existence. The mill doesnt seem to ordinarily take rail cars on this side of the plant which makes specialty paper products. |

Owned by the Little Rapids Corporation and unfit for interchange service, the LRC 606 seems to be a permanent fixture at this loading bay. The view is looking generally west along the former CNW line connecting Green Bay and Wausau. |

LRC 606 |
| Description: |
LRC 606 spotted at Shawano Paper Mill at Shawano, WI on 13 Jun. ’14. The mill was originally Wolf River Paper & Fiber Co., but is currently a div. of Little Rapids Corp. This facility is serviced by CN via a combination of SOO and C&NW rails. The track in the foreground is a 4-mile remnant of the C&NW mainline that once ran 83 miles from Green Bay to Wausau, WI. That line, minus this segment and a 2-mile stretch in Wausau that still have rails, is now the Mountain-Bay State Trail. |
