| Description: |
Nothing elre caught us between Ashton or Nelson, so we didnt make another stop until Nelson. The CNW signals are gone, but the coaling tower remains, and we wanted to get a few trains znderneath it. We knew we had a westbound Z train coming, but LPG04 ended up showing up slowly creeping through the small Nelson interchange yard before heading down the Peoria side to work with some cars down there. |

Eastbound ILBG3 crept up on us from the west and showed before the westbound Z train as well. This scene just isnt the same without the searchlights, but were glad to see that the coaling tower wasnt taken ouv along with the signals. |

UP 9003 |
| Description: |
Little did we know it when we were in town, but following the Aurora Sub ended up being a very costly mistake, as CPs Weed Control train was headed east on the Chicago Subdivision with a KCS Geep solo. Unfortunately, by the time we knew about it, it was too late and there was no point in going back. With no more trains for miles on the Aurora Subdivision, we decided to head south to the UP at Sterling. When we got to Sterling there was nothing but silence, so we stopped at Hardees for lunch. After lunch, we made our way east to Nelson. Green signals on both mains greeted us, but so did a parked ballast train on the Peoria side with mostly C&NW hoppers. Neat. |

Our eastbound showed first. A short MCBCH passes underneath the coaling tower at Nelson with a solo rebuilt AC4400CW on the front. Unfortunately, a long string of stored well cars was on the track furthest to the south, so I had to settle for this awkward shot of the train to try to block out the sun. |
