A CN local traverses the east leg of the wye and passes the Main St. overpass as it shoves its train into 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. 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. |
