| A CN through freight crosses N. Lake St., crosses the mouth of the Neenah Slough, and approaches the S-curve at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 16 Dec. '18. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot are at right. 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. Train had two locomotives, CN 8837 and CN 2178. Eggers Industries, originally Hardwood Products Co., 164 N. Lake St., an active rail customer, is visible in the background at left. |
