....It seems most of the trains seen on the webcam at Rochelle, Il are not on a certain schedule but as needed.

Yes, there is a series of scheduled trains on this line, but for obvious reasons our nations railroads don't publicly publi***hese schedules anymore.

It would be safer to say these trains have a suggested schedule, not an official timetable schedule. Most container/TOFC trains have a cutoff time for accepting loads but do not necessarily depart on schedule. These trains may have symbols denoting start and end points but they are for the most part officially "extras" and do not have timetable authority to be on any portion of track at a given time.
