I can confirm that the Union Pacific Geneva Sub (ex-Chicago Northwestern) re-signaling project that I previously reported on is looking ready to doom the the iconic searchlight complex at Nelson, IL.
Known for its 4-track CNW main line coaling tower and signal bridges, the Nelson searchlight complex had a chance to escape the 2010's signal replacement ax due to late model age (80's/90's) of the CNW signaling. While some of the signal bridges are vintage, others are tubular aluminum.
Unfortunately this is well beyond my territory, but hopefully there is someone local able to perform a through documentation including some video of the searchlight wobble. In an additional bummer, Nelson is likely the best example of CNW oval backed US&S searchlights with at least one 4-track signal bridge entirely comprised of 3 headed signals.
