A pair of EIRR, former HCRC, covered hoppers were part of the consist of a CN through freight traversing the west leg of the wye as it prepared to set out and pick up cars at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 4 Apr. '20. The train is passing the remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot. There are rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties stacked upon it. 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. |
