QUOTE: Originally posted by Muddy Creek What's the question? Your series of shots show a train moving on the tracks. Is it just going too slow? Your Rochelle series shows trains hours apart. Look at the times. Your top series can't be more than a couple of seconds between the first and last. Look at the autos. You can follow them down the road. Wayne

Never too old to have a happy childhood!
QUOTE: Originally posted by Muddy Creek No idea. What's up with the Rochelle camera? Is that connected to the question? Wayne

At one time on this cam you could have gotten a better shot of the bridge. I used to time them in most cases the transaction from the opening of the bridge to the closing takes on average 15 minutes or more. There is a signal about 1/4 mile passed the road that now you can not see. Once upon a time you could key into that signal & know when the signal lit a EBer was on its way. When that signal is red the EB trains must stop before the road since they all have that I observed[:D][:D] Originally posted by Glen Ellyn Living nearby to MP 186 of the UPRR Austin TX Sub Reply cpbloom Member sinceAugust 2003 From: Still on the other side of the tracks. 397 posts Posted by cpbloom on Tuesday, March 22, 2005 5:50 PM If you ask me this sounds like yet another attempt to [B)] Union Pacific.

Wayne Reply Edit spbed Member sinceDecember 2001 From: Austin TX 4,941 posts Posted by spbed on Wednesday, March 23, 2005 6:55 AM I thought so to it was UPRR bashing by the tone of the post. Just by the luck of the draw the UPRR train was caught at FM when the bridge was opening. I watch the FM cam a lot & when they have greens the UPRR is hot tailing it thru FM just like the BNSF does. The poster better think twice about UPRR bashing as maybe they will build that connector at Edelstein IL unplug EL Paso then they will swamp the BNSF with A/rackers & D/stackers/Intermodal which will slow down BNSF own running on there transcon.
