| LMIX RG316 rests upon the north leg of the wye at the north end of the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI, on 18 Apr. '20. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot are partially visible to the left. 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. Arrowhead Park, a closed paper sludge landfill, lies on the other side of the train. Before the landfill was opened in the '50s, the south shore of Little Lake Butte des Morts came right up to the north leg of the wye. |
