| Title: |
CN 3900 and CN 2232 |
| Description: |
A CN container train crosses the mouth of the Neenah Slough and approaches the S-curve at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 28 Mar. '19. Train had three locomotives, CN 3900 and CN 2232 pulling as well as CN 3801 pushing. The remnants of the foundation from the ca. 1955 masonry SOO depot can be seen to the right. There are rail sections supported by concrete blocks and railroad ties stacked upon it. 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. Eggers Div. of VT Industries, 164 N. Lake St., an active rail customer, looms in the background. Founded at Neenah, WI, in 1910 as Hardwood Products Co., construction of the facility commenced in Oct. ’10. It was renamed Hardwood Products Corp. as a result of a merger with Mississippi Veneer & Lumber Co. on 20 Apr. ’22 (the latter company was formed by the same businessmen who founded the Neenah company). Eggers Industries acquired Hardwood Products Corp. in 1965 and renamed it Eggers Hardwood Products Corp. Eggers was founded by Fred W. Eggers at Two Rivers, WI in 1884 to make wood baskets used by farmers. They later started making plywood and other wood veneer products. The name was changed to simply Eggers Industries at some point. It was acquired by Holstein, IA, based VT Industries, Inc., on 2 Oct. ’18. |
