C&NW Engines Headed West, UP Overland Route

[Trailryder]

Today at 4:25 PM I saw a westbound Mixed freight pass through Nelson Illinois with about 140 cars.
“Whats so special about that?” You ask.
They are being lead by C&NW 8575 & C&NW 8701,[:p] as you may know these are 2 of the last C&NW engines still in original paint.

Keep your eyes open on the UP Overland route and you too can see these Engines. If you get pictures please post.
As luck would have it I was without my camera when I spotted this train.[V]

Later Bill

They're only going as far west as Council Bluffs. You might get your next chance eastbound in a couple of days.
