Got scared when I saw some MoW vehicles cross the diamond and then a giant spider attacked them!!
It'll be even worse when the spider starts wearing earmuffs and mittens....
Without having seen the new camera, I do wonder if there is anything under the lens that will allow snow to accumulate (besides the roof). I gotta imagine the designers of such enclosures are smart than that, though...

It appears Mr. and / or Mrs. Spider have been busy building another web over the lens on the Rochelle webcam...looks like we need yet another rain storm to wash it away for a clearer view.
dknelson Keep watching - perhaps a Southern Pacific engine in the black widow paint scheme will pass by.

Funny you should mention that, as I saw what looked like an Espee engine in a consist heading an EB UP train today. Couldn't tell if it was the heritage unit or some remaining patched engine. It wasn't a black widow, though.
After all, it is a web cam.
BRING BACK THE SP!!!!
The late afternoon sun is highlighting a number of raindrop spots on the lens, and yes the web is flapping in the wind, suggesting that the spider may have abandoned it, or became lunch for a bird (or a larger spider).

Looks like the web cam has reverted to its internet meaning this morning. We'll see how it looks this afternoon when sunlight falls directly on the web location.
CShaveRR I just caught a westbound BNSF manifest, and the spider just caught a bug of some sort.

A flu bug, perhaps?

Don't see the spider but some web still appears to be flapping in the breeze at 3:11 pm CDT.
Maybe it's just leaving us it's "Web Address".......

Maybe a younger spider and a case of photo(video) bombing. So sorry about the stupid post, but sometimes I can't help myself.

I guess trolling isn't limited humans
