A CN local passes United Cooperative (formerly Greenville Co-op/Land O'Lakes Feed) and crosses Municipal Dr./Hwy. 76 as it heads southeast via former C&NW rails at Greenville, WI, on 22 Nov. '20. Founded as Greenville Cooperative in 1931, it merged with United Cooperative in 2017. The historic Greenville House, a.k.a. Kronser Hotel & Saloon, is partially visible at the right. Built by Joseph A. Kronser in 1897, it is currently home to Greenville Station (formerly Bootleggers). The depot, built in 1915 to replace the original (ca. 1876) depot, stood right about where that silver car and blue SUV are parked. Two fellow rail fans can be seen in the parking lot across the road to the left (those are their vehicles parked where the depot stood). Train was heading back to Appleton from New London. |
