Houdini City

On a dreary, sopping-wet afternoon, CN/IC GP38-2 9568 leads CN L523, the Neenah-Kaukauna turn, across downtown Appleton, Wisconsin's main thoroughfare, College Avenue, with cars for industries in Little Chute and woodchips for the pulp mills in Kaukauna.

 

For what it's worth, Appleton is the hometown of more famous (or infamous) figures than its modest size might suggest- illusionist Harry Houdini, Brad Smith (of Microsoft fame), historical xenophobe asshole Joe McCarthy and prolific actor Willem Dafoe, among many others, including sports, political, and literary personalities.
