| A CN local parallels Harrison St. and approaches the W. Cecil St. overpass (Timothy Hamblin Bridge) as it returns to the south end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 10 Aug. '18. In the background, a container train approaches the W. Bell St. overpass. Container train had two locomotives, CN 2259 and CN 2156. 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 half-a-mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished. The silo of American Colloid Co., 901 Acco Ave., an active rail customer, is visible in the background, near the center of the photograph. A remnant of the former C&NW main line can be seen at far left, on the other side of the clump of trees. |
