Hope to hear details about rough weather between there and here...I mean Chicagoland. I know DuPage is in a tornado watch and high-wind advisory.As for the mystery locomotive: Citirail?

Did it look like this?

CREX or CitiRail units have been appearing primarily on unit trains.
I pictured something more like this, except this middle band is yellow:

BNSF tank train went through, 7.15am, head end of WB appeared just as the last car dissapeared off screen. It crossed lincoln then stopped. just started moving.
all blue with wide 'white or yellow stripe', saw it asked about earlier, 'Wisconsin Central', i never saw an answer.
all the homes in fairdale Il, were destroyed last night, one person dead, no details, weather channel is all over it right now.
A reply to "North West". I think you have found the answer. I guess my memory was a bit off with the top blue area, and my recollection was a darker blue, but the logo for Citirail is as I think I remember seeing it. I should have done a print of it, but one is never ready for the unexpected!
Thanks.

that's a new road for me, sorry for mis info.
I hope I can be permitted to post a question about the Roanoke webcam in this thread. Anyone know what this cargo is? http://1drv.ms/1NzcJF5

Looks like a small loco, a box car, and maybe a covered hopper. The loco looks like it's been wrapped in plastic. Export? Museum pieces?

1st (after the two engines) dead end 45 ton switcher, 2nd Cargo can, 3rd, appears to be a tank like a milk carrier, all shiney chrome. my take on it.
at 19.50 two engines, one (1) auto rack.
what was really unique, head end looked like a UP 'SD-45' hood looked like it, but it was deep dusk, hard to tell.
Think that this may be the DuPont tank car safety train. I think I can barely see the DuPont logo on the caboose - (it's not an engine?)

I had the same thing this morning. St Paul 1 and 2 and Roanoke seemed to be working but it's hard to tell unless there is traffic on adjacent roads. No such clue with St Paul 2.
Rochelle seems to be working fine now.
Question: When I found the railroad park in Google Earth and zoomed in real tight, I could see something (?) at the peak of the roof on the west end. Is that something the web cam? I had not thought from the viewing angle that it was that high.

OS UP coal MTs west at 1743. 4 units crawled across the diamonds, 1nn cars later were moving at least at track speed.

Off Topic: - How can I get my posts to appear timely under the subject? My posts are held for moderation (which is fine) - but often appear hours or days after I've posted - and while posted in chronological order - at the time of my post - lose their relevance to the topic on which I've posted? My posts are often buried after the topic becomes stale. Is there a difference between "reply" and "quick reply"?
Thank you very much and I apologize for being off topic.
Thanks
cefinkjrIs that something the web cam?
You can see it atop the building in this image from the park's website:

Yep.
Thanks a bunch.
Interesting to see the park from the railroads' point of view.
I could not get that link to light up. Must be gremlins in the forum software tonight...

Have fun with your trains
cefinkjrIf by "that link", you mean the link to the picture that you posted, something strange is going on there. It seems to be a non-link --- plain text that just looks like a link --- in your post.
I tried posting the link with both the IMG and URL tags, neither took... Until you quoted it, as you note. Strange indeed...
OT - tried to delete this post --- I now know to use the "quck reply" button.
Thanks Apologize for clutering the board.
