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. The covered hoppers spotted next to the silos at left are for Bemis (formerly Curwood, Inc.), 1815 Marathon Ave. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible in the background toward the right. 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. A remnant of the former C&NW main line can be seen to the left. |
