CN 2980  Contributor's Pick!       
A CN container train parallels Union St. and passes the former Adams St. grade crossing as it heads south at the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI on 15 May '20. Train had two locomotives, CN 2980 pulling and CN 3875 pushing. The former Caroline St. and Sherry St. grade crossings can also be seen. The Main St. overpass is in the background. A CN local can be seen in the distance, resting on the passing siding while it waits to head for Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna. 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, significantly larger yard (extending southwestward from Winneconne Ave.) was built, but a map from 1909 shows the yard still here.
