GTW 4928 |
| Description: |
CN local crosses Millview Dr. with 13 cars as it approaches the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 1 Mar. '15. I don't know where the train had been working, but it was coming from the direction of Hilbert when I encountered it in Menasha a few minutes earlier. They are passing the partially demolished Fox Valley Energy Center (formerly Minergy Fox Valley Glass Aggregate Plant). Opened in Jan. '98, it has stood idle since 15 Jun. '13. The boxcar is passing under the remnants of the steam pipes that used to connect the energy plant to the Glatfelter Paper mill (formerly Bergstrom Paper, originally Winnebago Paper). The paper mill itself fell to the wrecking ball a few years ago, after occupying the site of this parking lot and several newer businesses out of frame to the right, for well over 125 years (the oldest part of the original mill was constructed in 1874). |
