| Title: |
NS 9606 and NS 4083 |
| Description: |
A pair of foreigners lead a through freight along Union St. past the former Sherry St. grade crossing as they back into the north end of the CN, former SOO, yard at Neenah, WI on 30 Dec. '18. The remnants of the 1902 Neenah Cheese & Cold Storage Co. facility and the 1892 Murer House, both on Sherry St., are partially visible beyond the train. The WC (later SOO) depot stood on the opposite side of Sherry St. from those two buildings; it was built on the north side of Sherry St. on the east side of the tracks in 1891. It replaced the ca. 1871 depot that stood at the west end of Wisconsin Ave. The Sherry St. depot was demolished ca. 1955 when a new depot was built between Main St. and N. Lake St. on the west leg of the wye, about 850 ft. to the northwest. The area between the tracks and Union St., from Main St. to Monroe St. used to be the yard. I don't know when the current yard was built, but a map from 1909 shows the yard here. |
