| Description: |
A CN container train parallels Harrison St. and approaches the W. Cecil St. overpass (Timothy Hamblin Bridge) as it heads northeast past the south end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 10 Aug. '18. The beige facility in the background is Voith (Voith Paper Fabric & Roll Systems, Inc.), 375 Byrd Ave. They have two spurs, but the turnout which once connected them to active rails has been gone for quite a while. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are visible beyond that. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about half-a-mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished. The silo of American Colloid Co., 901 Acco Ave., an active rail customer, is visible in the background to the right. A remnant of the former C&NW main line can be seen at left. |

| Description: |
A CN container train passes the Main St. overpass and traverses the west leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 4 Apr. '20. The white building partially visible at left is, or was, Progressive Paper Storage, Inc. (formerly Kimberly-Clark Warehouse (K-C Warehouse)), 135 Millview Dr. It does not receive rail service, but it looks like there may have been a spur on the northwest side of the building in the past. First Presbyterian Church, 200 S. Church St., can be seen above the warehouse. The clock tower of the once impressive 1888 city hall building, intersection of S. Commercial St. and W. Doty St., looks like a church steeple from this perspective, but it is a block east of the church. |
