Rochelle Ill Webcam
Posted by retsignalmtr on Wednesday, April 11, 2018 7:02 AM

What's up with the Rochelle Ill webcam? Why does it stop every 20 seconds or so? When will it get fixed?

For some months now, on my laptop the picture freezes but the sound does not, in Firefox, but not Chrome or Edge.  On my desktop it's fine in Firefox.   I cannot explain it.

There is another live webcam of Rochelle on Youtube, for a limited time.  The camera is closer to ground level and looks down the UP tracks on the right, so not as good a view but it is a sharper image.  The chat is an interesting dynamic; the armchair trainspotters will hang out for hours at a less busy spot so they can type "horn"  "train"

I had to go check it out.  I use Fire Fox, and it does freeze.  There is a Rochelle web cam thread in the TRAINS forum.  Maybe check there.

On the camera page, there is also a FAQ section where they talk about it.

I watch it from a site called Railstream.

I and I assume the OP meant the Trains camera.   Railstream and Virtual Railfan are the two youtube channels that have several different webcams.  It's snowing in Deshler OH at the moment

Are watching the feed through TRAINS, or through RS. ?
