A CN through freight traverses the west leg of the wye as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI, on 23 May '20. On the far side of the train lies Arrowhead Park, a closed paper sludge landfill. 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, which bisects the scene. The foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot is partially visible to the right. 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. |
