rebelfdl - Man, this makes me feel REAL guilty about not trying to learn more about the WC/FRV operations while I lived there in the Fox River Valley! I just loved watching the action, and was too busy otherwise to learn about the operations. Now - since you are definitely up to speed on that area - while I lived in the apartments in Oshkosh, right at the crossing of Hwy. 21 and the ex-CNW Hortonville line that roughly paralleled Hwy. 110 northwest, I'd see a slow-moving FRV train heading north around 11 AM on weekdays. It had passed behind the Rockwell plant and through the UW-O campus (my alma mater). The tracks have since been paved over at the crossing and probably ripped-up by now. The tracks bent-around back to the north and crossed Hwy. 110 on the otherside of Riverside Cemetary - where they curved back towards 110 I believe is where a switch existed (maybe a wye?) where the line also continued on towards Hortonville. I've been curious for a long time now what business those trains had on that stretch of trackage. I believe it eventually connected-back to the ex-CNW main north of town and I never saw the train coming the other direction (south).
