A CN container train passes the W. Bell St. overpass and parallels Hwy. 41 as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 8 Dec. '19. Train had two locomotives, CN 3210 pulling and CN 3002 pushing. The through freight at right rests upon a remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible in the background at right. 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. Behind the locomotive you can see the spur which leads to the Menasha Corp. facility on Bergstrom Rd. |
