Leicht Piggy Packer

Description:  An old piggy packer safely secured on a private property at the corner of 9th and State Streets in Green Bay.

Title:  End of Line in Manawa

Manawa still has the industrial spur running thru town just waiting for someone to use rail service eough to actually entice CN to start coming up here again.

Title:  PGR 42
Description:  The number of sand facilities and the number of car loads they put out is almost staggering. This is a short look into the Superior Silica Sands at New Auburn. There is much more to the facility than this shows. Twenty years ago, who would have guessed sand would become such a valuable commodity to the railroads, outside of insiders that were aware of the fracking potential for oil.
