And "homeland security" would be very pleased to know that, a train was coming 5 min. in advance of Rochelle!! To put it simply, I could plant a device somewhere around the Rochelle trackage area, get a line-up for any given day. Then pick my train(hasmat loads), then sit in the comfort of my home and when the signals and train were right, BLAM!!! No, in this day an age I think showing signal aspects is not the prudent thing to do. Just my $ worth. Regards Tim ..

Posted by Anonymous on Thu, Apr 1 2004 3:08 PM I called Eric a while back about the resolution and contrast of the camera, as on cloudy days it is hard to see ahything of worth, uless there is snow on the ground. It is a matter of expenses as to what ios done on the Rochelle camera. First is the bandwidth that Rochelle.net can release to Trains (who pays the bills). Idealy a T1 line sould be nice, then we could all get streaming video with sound as the wheels click across the diamond. Just my 2 cents worth. I grew up there and did not take much advantage of all the different types of trains. All we Rochelleites did was to complain about the long "waits" at the gates just to get to town, and thken tohave another train pass going the other way. My dearlier years was to walk 1 block to the old Burlington to watch the Steam switchers doing their job. I can still hear the air compressors chuga-swish chuga-swish.
