| CN local crosses Millview Dr. as it nears the Yard Limit of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 29 Jun. '15. An Affinity clinic is partially visible on the left, behind the train. It occupies part of the site of the former P. H. Glatfelter Co. paper mill, which stood here for 135 years. Glatfelter purchased the mill from Bergstrom Paper Co. in 1979. Bergstrom had purchased the mill, originally Winnebago Paper, in 1904. Glatfelter moved the jobs to Ohio in June 2006, the mill stood idle for about two years until it was torn down, demolition was completed in May 2009. The metal structure over the train is a remnant of the steam pipes that used to connect the paper mill to the defunct and partially demolished Fox Valley Energy Center (formerly Minergy Fox Valley Glass Aggregate Plant), behind me. |
