A CN through freight passes the Main St. overpass and traverses the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 11 Aug. '19. Train had four locomotives, CN 3856, CREX 1505, CN 8861, CN 8880. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot are partially visible at right. The rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties rest atop the remnants of the foundation. The masonry depot 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. |
