| CN through freight parallels Harrison St. and approaches Kampo Rd. as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 16 Feb. '18. Train had three locomotives, CN 8908 and CN 2558 pulling, as well as CN 8006 mid-train. A remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, is visible at right. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 loom 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. I am curious to learn where the new turnout (stacked in pieces between the tracks) will be installed (a 2nd new turnout was recently unloaded near this one). |
