Kick Em' !
Neenah yard is bustling with action as usual this fine summer morning. A pair of switchers are in charge of the 08:00 lead job that have started their careers on the Southern Pacific and are now earning their keep on the WC. The FLO jobs are gone off to Appleton, L2627 to Manitowoc L2829 to Shops Yard etc, and this job will swap blocks, flat switch and kick cars around the yard while dissecting and building the evening locals and drags for freights to pick up. Not many freights got through Neenah, without making a stop to set out or pick up freight...it was quite the place to stay busy and I was lucky enough to hold down the midnight switch engine a couple years later.
