EJE 703 |
| Description: |
EJE 703 works the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 2 May '20. This view would have been prevented by the dominating silhouette of the original Neenah Foundry facility, later known as Plant 1, which stood here for over ¾’s of a century. Established in 1872 as Aylward Plow Works (a.k.a. Aylward & Sons) at 120 N. Lake St., they erected a new foundry at 500 W. Winneconne Ave. in 1918 “in a rural area of southwestern Neenah.” The name of Neenah Foundry was adopted in 1922. Expanded numerous times over the years, it became Plant 1 in 1960 when Plant 2 was constructed in the then rural area at the intersection of Byrd Ave. and the aptly named Aylward St. (followed by Plant 3 in 1967). Plant 1 was closed in 1994, the corporate overlords didn’t want to spend any money to update the plant. It stood abandoned for a while and was eventually demolished. |

| Description: |
EJE 703 pauses under the Winneconne Ave. overpass as it works the north end of the former SOO yard at Neenah, WI, on 2 May '20. The building at left, 716 Harrison St., still used by Neenah Foundry, I believe, has been spruced up with a fresh coat of paint and some new doors since this photograph was captured. |
