| A CN container train parallels Harrison St. and crosses Kampo Rd. as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 25 Mar. '19. Train had two locomotives, CN 2558 and CN 2405. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible at right. 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. The silos partially visible in the background belong to Bemis (formerly Curwood, Inc.), 1815 Marathon Ave., an active rail customer. A remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, can be seen at right. The W. Cecil St. overpass (Timothy Hamblin Bridge) can be seen in the background. |
