| A CN local approaches Hwy. O as it heads south with five cars via former SOO rails at Mackville Station, Town of Center, Outagamie Co., WI on 15 Mar. ’14. Listed as Mackville Station on some old maps, distinguishing it from the community of Mackville which is 1-mile due east of here, it is listed as Mackville on some time tables. Some remnants of the depot’s foundation are protruding from the snow to the right of the base of the station sign. The station sign was stolen between 13 Jun. and 9 Jul. ’14, not long after I posted a photograph of it on this site. I presume it was stolen; I would think if the railroad had removed the sign they would have removed the posts as well. Both posts stood barren for quite a while. One of the posts still stands next to the track (as of Oct. '18), the other lies on the ground. Part of the passing siding still exists at right, it has been truncated at Hwy. O. What remains forms a spur which could be used to service Stainless Tubular Products (STP) (out-of-frame to the right). Train was headed back to Neenah after working Shawano. |
