| A CN container train crosses Kampo Rd. and approaches the W. Bell St. overpass as it heads southwest via a remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, at Neenah, WI on 19 Jun. '18. Train had two locomotives, CN 3805 and GECX 2039. To the right of the lead locomotive are the remnants of a spur for the two warehouses to the right, but the turnout that connected them to the siding has been gone for years. A new turnout rests between the two sets of tracks by Kampo Rd. It will soon replace an existing turnout which is used to service Neenah's Southpark Industrial Center from the former C&NW passing siding. The former SOO main line is at left. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 can be seen in the background. 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. |
