A CN through freight parallels Harrison St. as it heads northeast at the south end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 1 Jul. '20. Train was preparing to set out a string of cars and had three locomotives, CN 2991, CN 2928, BLE 909. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible in the background. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about a mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished. A remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, runs parallel to the left. If only the sun could have been more cooperative. |
