Westbound at NQ

A westbound Union Pacific freight utilizes the crossovers at NQ in Nelson, Illinois, passing under the classic C&NW signal bridge which guards one end of the control point as it treks west toward Clinton, Iowa. Nelson is a hotbed of C&NW history, this being the location where the Peoria Sub splits off from the Geneva Sub, a large coaling tower, as well as several sets of classic signals are scattered around this small midwestern town.
