| CN through freight traverses the west leg of the wye and approaches the Main St. overpass at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 2 Mar. '18. The rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties, visible to the left of the locomotives, rest atop the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. 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. The silo at background left belongs to Eggers Industries (originally Hardwood Products Corp.), an active rail customer. |
