I live in the Fox River Valley of Wisconsin, or as it is now being known as the Death River Valley. The largest concetration of paper mills in the world, and the whole *** industry is crumbling now. Numerous plants closing, we also have some other industries, with printing and packaging still going strong, but doesn't pay as well. Meade, Kimberly- Clark , and Glatfelter recently announced or closed plants here. International Papers sold several plants here to foreign buyers., along with some other companies selling to foreign ownership. Numerous railyards and spurs across the entire area going to industries from ductile iron foundary's, paper, printing, warehousing, even a milk plant, and coal hauled into power electric plants. Once served by the Milwaukee Road, Chicago Northwestern, and Soo Line all on seperate lines here in the same area during the same era. Times are really changing! Pretty soon Canadian National will rumble past without any stops in the area if manufacturing keeps leaving.
