| After setting out and picking up some cars, the motive power of a CN through freight emerges from the north end of the former SOO yard to reassemble its train at the former Monroe St. grade crossing at Neenah, WI on 2 Jun. '19. Train had two locomotives, CREX 1517 and CN 3828. Remnants of the former Adams St. grade crossing can be seen in the foreground. Adams St. was originally Washington St., until at least 1913. I'm curious to learn what Washington did to piss off the "great" City of Neenah. The Winneconne Ave. overpass is visible in the background. The white building partially visible at right appears to still be in use by Neenah Foundry. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St. used to be the yard. I don't know when the current yard (a few blocks to the south) was built, but a map from 1909 shows the yard here. |
