CN 3087         
A CN through freight passes the former Byrd Ave. grade crossing and parallels Harrison St. as it heads northeast at the south end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 15 May '20. Train had two locomotives, CN 3087 pulling and CN 2984 mid-train. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible in the background at left. 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. The W. Bell St. overpass can be seen in the distance to the right. A remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, runs parallel to the left.
