A CN local approaches the Main St. overpass and traverses the east leg of the wye at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 14 Dec. '18. Train was returning from Menasha with 16 cars. The white building partially visible at right is, or was, Progressive Paper Storage, Inc. (formerly a Kimberly-Clark 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 north leg of the wye can be seen to the left of the locomotive. Beyond that lies Arrowhead Park, a closed paper sludge landfill. Before the landfill was opened in the '50s, the south shore of Little Lake Butte des Morts came right up to the north leg of the wye. You can see that a large amount of fill is being added to a portion of the park in preparation of pending improvements. |
