CN 3034 and CN 3002 |
Description: |
A CN container train crosses over from the former SOO rails to the former C&NW rails as it heads southwest at Neenah, WI on 30 Mar. '18. Train had two locomotives, CN 3034 and CN 3002. Components for a new turnout rest at left. Given that the sun light was neutral, I was hoping to photograph a train approaching Kampo Rd. from the northeast on the main line, for a change. That angle wouldn't be much good on a sunny afternoon, when I am usually over this way. I positioned myself here when I noticed a train approaching, only to be foiled once again by the crafty crew members of the CN (who decided to cross over to the passing siding instead). |

CN 2877 and CN 3002 |

A CN through freight crosses N. Lake St., as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 18 Apr. '19. The former Lieber Lumber facility is partially visible at right. Part of that facility is used as a warehouse by somebody, the office/retail building is currently home to the Valley Academy for the Arts, 139 N. Lake St. |

Title: |
CN 3002 |
Description: |
A CN container train parallels Hwy. 41 as it heads southwest via former SOO rails at Snells, WI on 8 Dec. '19. Snells is now little more than a map dot in the Town of Neenah, Winnebago Co. A Post Office was established on 4 May 1876, originally called Snell’s Station, sometimes referred to as Snell’s Crossing. This once small, rural community included a depot, cheese factory, sawmill, school, and stockyard. It does not look like any substantial remnants of the community remain, even the station sign, erected after the depot was removed, is gone (it is not a station on the current CN system map). Train had two locomotives, CN 3210 pulling and CN 3002 pushing. The through freight at left rests upon a remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding. I was trying to duplicate the view in an awesome photograph on this site which was recently chosen as an Editor's Pick, http://rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=2749619. The contributor (very deserving of the red ribbon) has labeled the location as Minneapolis, but I agree with one of the commenters who believes that the photograph was captured at Neenah. I did not get the angle quite right, plus I will need to try again when the sun is in a better position. |
