Was wondering if anyone else happened to click on the web cam at this time.
I know it's dark in Rochelle at that time but sometimes I've caught a train in the dark or near dark and it's interesting to see and try and figure out what it is.
Tonight, there appeared to be a gondola train (coal?) moving on UP from Proviso toward Clinton and the side of the train was lit up as though there was a light on it but when the train finished, the light was gone so it wasn't a BNSF train waiting. Another train then became faintly visible in the dark, also on UP, but could not tell anything about it except that I thought it was a stack train by the way the different background street lights appeared and disappeared.
Any ideas?
