CN 3805, et al. |
Description: |
A CN container train crosses over from the former SOO main line to a remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, and approaches Kampo Rd. as it heads southwest at Neenah, WI on 19 Jun. '18. Train had two locomotives, CN 3805 and GECX 2039 (or maybe CREX 2039). Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 are partially visible background right. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about a mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished. In the background at left, you can see the tail end of a through freight halted on the main line. The W. Cecil St. overpass (Timothy Hamblin Bridge) can be seen in the background. |

CN 3805 and GECX 2039 |
Description: |
A CN container train crosses Kampo Rd. and approaches the W. Bell St. overpass as it heads southwest via a remnant of the former C&NW main line, now relegated to a passing siding, at Neenah, WI on 19 Jun. '18. Train had two locomotives, CN 3805 and GECX 2039. To the right of the lead locomotive are the remnants of a spur for the two warehouses to the right, but the turnout that connected them to the siding has been gone for years. A new turnout rests between the two sets of tracks by Kampo Rd. It will soon replace an existing turnout which is used to service Neenah's Southpark Industrial Center from the former C&NW passing siding. The former SOO main line is at left. Neenah Foundry Plant 2 & Plant 3 can be seen in the background. Plant 2 opened in 1960 and Plant 3 was built in 1967. Plant 1 opened in 1918 and stood about a mile to the north, until it was closed in 1994 and eventually demolished. |

CN 3805 and CN 2902 |
Description: |
A CN through freight passes Arrowhead Park and approaches the mouth the Neenah Slough at the south end of Little Lake Butte des Morts as it heads northwest via former SOO rails at Neenah, WI on 14 Dec. '18. The historic Neenah Stove Works, currently occupied by Hafemeister Machine Corp., 635 Main St., and International Children's Fund, 619 Main St., is partially visible in the background. The oldest part of the facility dates to 1857, when the Moore & Wells foundry was established. Evidence of someone’s recent ice fishing can be seen in the foreground. |
