QUOTE: Originally posted by tree68 It's not the camera (well, it could be, partly)- it's the bandwidth, and it costs money.
QUOTE: Originally posted by tree68 The idea of bigger and better for Rochelle has been discussed many times. Right now we're seeing 2-4 second refreshes, and can have something like 5 concurrent viewers. Improving the camera image will likely require more bandwidth, meaning someone has to pony up for the bandwidth, or we have to settle for less frequent views or fewer concurrent viewers. Mr Yuhas can elaborate.
QUOTE: Originally posted by mikeyuhas Just so we're clear, when you click the "Click here if you dare" link in my signature, you're taken to my own personal website, where I showcase some of my off-hours railroad photography. It's not connected with trains.com, Kalmbach Publishing Co., or Erik Bergstrom in any way. But I do love my Canon Digital Rebel...

I wi***he picture could be a lot sharper, and it has an overall gray tone to it, which I do not care for. But still, watching it has become somewhat adictive to me. I watched five trains roll past the camera within the space of about an hour. And that's more than what I am used to seeing here at home. Reply spbed Member sinceDecember 2001 From: Austin TX 4,941 posts Posted by spbed on Thursday, March 31, 2005 11:13 AM My logic is something is better then nothing. Have you tried the Ft. Madison cam? If I had my druthers I could think of spots that would give more typical RR action then Rochelle. But I really/truly appreciate Trains for doing it & allowing us access.
