| CN container train approaches a halted mixed freight on the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 15 Aug. '15. Container train had two locomotives, CN 8881 pulling and CN 2129 pushing. Mixed freight had two locomotives, CN 2300 and CN 2727. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot are on the other side of the locomotives. There are rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties stacked upon it. It was built to replace the wooden depot built in 1891 on Sherry St., about 850 ft. to the southeast, which was torn down soon after the new one opened. The Main St. overpass is partially visible in the background. |
