A CN unit train of tank cars passes the Main St. overpass and leans into the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 8 Dec. '19. Train had two locomotives, CN 3179 pulling and CN 3168 pushing. The north leg of the wye bisects the scene. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot are partially visible at right. The pile of railroad ties rests atop the remnants of the foundation. The masonry depot 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. |
