| A CN unit train of tank cars crosses N. Lake St. and approaches the S-curve at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 15 Feb. '19. Train had three locomotives, CN 8894 and BNSF 4466 pulling as well as another CN pushing. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot are near the center of the scene. 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. Eggers Industries, originally Hardwood Products Co., 164 N. Lake St., an active rail customer, is visible in the background at left. |
