Nelson | - | - | - | 25/2/1929 | Owing to the presence of Gloucester Street at south end of Nelson station and the use of gates to control road and rail traffic with street crossing, the making up of trains has to be performed at north end of station. | Nelson – Foxhill Railway | Nelson Section | R3, 29/395 | WRD | Nelson | S | 35128 |
Nelson | - | - | - | 25/2/1929 | Two of the five roads in question are continuously in use when making up trains and the existing method of using one key retards the shunting work and causes delay and last minute rushes. | Nelson – Foxhill Railway | Nelson Section | R3, 29/395 | WRD | Nelson | S | 35129 |

Nelson | - | - | - | 5/6/1936 | The home signal at the south end of Nelson station, a Woods locked station, is situated only 35 yards from the main line points. | Nelson – Foxhill Railway | Nelson Section | R3, 29/395 | WRD | Nelson | S | 35136 |
Nelson | - | - | - | 5/6/1936 | The traffic on this Section is very light and the only occasions in normal periods, that shunting is performed outside main line points is when No – 4.30pm Nelson – Glenhope train, Friday only – is being made up, and when shunting Neale & Hadow's siding. | Nelson – Foxhill Railway | Nelson Section | R3, 29/395 | WRD | Nelson | S | 35137 |

Nelson | - | - | - | 20/10/1947 | It is understood all movements between the Port and Nelson are under the control of a shunter who pilots the entrance of these services in the Port and Nelson yards. | Nelson – Foxhill Railway | Nelson Section | R3, 29/395 | WRD | Nelson | S | 35143 |
Nelson | - | - | - | 20/10/1947 | The Up home signal at Nelson has been disconnected from the main signal frame for many years and train from the Port are flagged past by a shunter. | Nelson – Foxhill Railway | Nelson Section | R3, 29/395 | WRD | Nelson | S | 35144 |
Nelson | - | - | - | 4/12/1947 | As all the shunting roads in Nelson yard come off the main line at the northern end, bringing the Up home signal back into operation would entail the protection of six sets of points, from which the Woods locks were removed some years ago, otherwise these points would have to be secured before the signal could be set at proceed. | Nelson – Foxhill Railway | Nelson Section | R3, 29/395 | WRD | Nelson | S | 35145 |
Nelson | - | - | - | 4/12/1947 | This would ensure control was retained over all trains entering Nelson from the Port and should meet the situation. | Nelson – Foxhill Railway | Nelson Section | R3, 29/395 | WRD | Nelson | S | 35146 |
Nelson | - | - | - | 4/12/1947 | Would suggest a suitably worded “STOP” board be placed just beyond the outer most set of points, indicating all trains must be brought to a stop at that point, and must not move until receipt of a hand signal from the platform, when they would be piloted into the yard by the shunter. | Nelson – Foxhill Railway | Nelson Section | R3, 29/395 | WRD | Nelson | S | 35147 |
