WSOR Oshkosh Terminal         
This facility at the intersection of State Highway 91 and Clairville Road includes a large grain elevator that gets plenty of business. Also at this site, is a load out for ethanol tanks. The ethanol plant is located about a mile off the line up State 91. The ethanol is brought to the storage tanks here via a pipe line. This location also had a circus style flat car loading ramp for trailers and Oshkosh truck vehicles. Since ADM took over this site, one can't really investigate to see if it is still there. Oshkosh loads it's trucks further into Oshkosh now, at a new facility at the end of this branch. In the early 1990's, WSOR attempted to develop piggy back service at this location, even renting a "piggy-packer" to load trailers, but the service never took off. Coal also was trans loaded here into the 1990's from rail to trucks. One other spur goes off opposite the elevator to what appears to have been some form of concrete construction company, which has been long since closed. Beyond this complex, further into Oshkosh, the WSOR has a nice sized customer base.

T. P. Bruss General Don’t like the “Exempt” sign, but glad the crossing still sees regular use. I really like the historical information. 4/21/2014 2:38:40 AM
