I'm amazed how old and a bet run down some of the city looks in this film. Glad to see that the city in general looks better now. Keep up the good work Oshkosh.

I was four years old when this was taken. I'm sorry I never got to see such an interesting piece of railroading in my home state for myself, but I'm glad it was so well-documented!

I grew up in the neighborhood where the video starts, and this brings back great memories! Thanks!

I remember this stretch of track well -- went to school in this town in the 70's. The former station was right in the heart of the downtown on that sharp curve to the right -- relocated to the south side of town (seen at end of video). We pass the interchange with the CNW just before curving left to cross the Fox River Bridge, and what is left of the connection with the MILW on the far side of the bridge (mostly removed by this time). Was SOO before it was WC. Lot of great memories here.

Nice! I lived in Oshkosh for a few years, really came to like the town! Now retired in AZ, but Oshkosh remains a favorite.

Excellent, thanks for sharing!

Like how she goes right thru the town

I think the railfans were the only ones that liked it.

That is incredible history, I expect they didn't like the big Northerns passing by.

Yeah well I'm surprised there ain't no damn remnants left of any of that track didn't see any at least

Incredible video footage looks like someone taking it from their cell phone!

Probably a VHS camcorder.

Somebody likes to talk!

Greenie Weenie leading. Is that the Silver Chalet or Prairie Rose observation car?

Division St - the old WC, now gone.

Any footage from Sault Ste Marie, Ontario from 1990?

Not 1990 but I have another video posted from the 1930's from Soo, ON.
