A CN through freight parallels Harrison St. as it heads northeast at the south end of the former SOO yard at Neenai, WI on 28 Nov. '19. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible in the background at left. 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 W. Bell St. overpass can be seen in the distance to the right. A remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, runs parallel to the left. I wish I had opened the shutter a fraction of a second sooner. |
