Single Unit Train sitting across the diamonds.
NP with Chrome on W10 ... Have to refresh the page when feed times out as the sound stops.
Working fine on Winders 10 and I.E.11.

Noticing a few UP trains with SD70M that have looked like they have been resting in the desert for a bit. Are they pulling units out of storage?
TRAINS: Ads that fill the window that I carefully tailored to the size of the Rochelle web cam are not appreciated! In fact, they are probably counterproductive. How many books or subscriptions to other publications do you think you're going to sell while I'm busy expanding that window, clicking on the X in the upper corner, and then resizing the window again? Answer: None.

Today's IG2G3 was pulled by both Salt Lake City "Olympics" units (2001 & 2002 ?; Didn't catch the numbers). Good chance one or both will be on the consist of the return movement this afternoon.

2002 lead 2001 plus two other engines on the eastbound IG3G2.
Just caught them coming back to Global III
and back out .. 14:27 Central
Nice find anyone catch the siemens chargers yet? caught a glimpse of one passing my house just the other day they have quite a wooshy sound.

phkmn2000I've been out of town a few days and since getting back have been unable to view the webcam with either MS Edge or Chrome. Anybody else having issues?
Just noticed that Opera v50 is now blocking Flash players by default. This may start happening on other Chrome based browsers as well.
The 'solution' for Opera is to click the 'install Flash' link; a window top prompt to Allow/Block Flash appears and select 'Allow'. Not sure if this is possible on Edge.
Unfortunately the earthcam.net site hosting the webcam is Braindead and mistakenly thinks my internet connection is too slow. A few other sites also exhibit this pathetic behavior. I've filled out their contact form and we'll see .....
You WILL have the same problem on 99% of U.S. based media sites which use DRM protected Flash players. Lazy, lazy, lazy ...... they should use an HTML5 based player by now.

Looks like Earthcam has some different interfaces ..
The Times Square camera does not appear to be running Flash as I can open it with the Edge browser .

@rdamon, thanks for the link. Unfortunately, the earthcam.com Times Square webcams don't work on Opera either.
Just tried Firefox v52 ESR, Times Square is fine but trains.com Rochelle is Not. Hmmm ....
I'm getting the sound, and the pop-up ad comes up right on schedule...but except for a couple of spots, the screen is black.Oh, wait a minute...

I am using Chrome with W10 and no problems.
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
I use IE 10 and Opera with no problems. Except: When the trains cam times out on Opera, I have to re boot the page, not hitting the arrow. Hitting the arrow brings the cam up without sound.
Windows is trying to let me 'Upgrade' to IE 11, anyone use it and how different is it?
I hate upgrades.
Spent two hours yesterday with my computer upgradeing, added a new program called "3D Printing", and a new 'People Mode', tried to get me to start it.
I'm with you! I hate upgrades... especially FORCED ones.
But, I have been using IE-11 for quite some time and not having any problems. I am so used to it that I am not sure what the changes were anymore. Seems to me it moved some things around at the top of the window (tabs are on a separate line now, not mixed with the address area. But nothing so drastic that I could not get used to it fairly quickly.
I still prefer it over "Edge" or any of the other browsers out there. Not that the others are "bad" but I am just used to IE and see no reason to have to re-learn things just to use them.
Firefox has been my go-to for a long time and will continue to be so. It allows me to be in control. The others like to monitor your keystrokes.

Ditto everything you said, Semper. Plus, Edge is supposed to be faster but I don't see it ("all computers wait for the user at the same speed"). In addition, I rely heavily on Norton's Password Vault to supply my credentials on lots of web sites; this works very smoothly on IE 11 but not so nicely with Edge, Firefox, or Chrome. With IE11, I open the vault when I (very rarely) reboot my machine and forget it. With the others, I have to reopen the vault every time I restart the browser.
A while back, I had been switching between Edge and IE11 and didn't notice any difference. The Rochelle Cam has been repeatedly freezing for some time with Edge, and I decided to try IE11 again, but found out that that option has been removed. (I hate being controlled by big MS.)
I still miss XP.

@ Paul;
Yeah they keep hiding it, but it should still be on your system.
On my system there are two IE-11 files, and they have the same "Product Version" and "File Version" value of "11.00.16299.15" but they are different sizes! One is 804KB and the other is 806KB.
You should be able to find one at either (or both) of the following folders on your "C" drive:
C:\Program Files\internet explorer\iexplore.exe
and/or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe
(Depending on how you have your system configured you might not see the ".exe" on then end of the file name.)
I suppose the difference might be whether it is 16/32-bit or 64-bit. That also might be the cause of some minor differences in how it works for different people.
See if you have one or both and try running them to see how they work for you.
If one seems to work for you, Right-click on the filename and select 'Pin to Taskbar' to get shortcut in the bar at the bottom of the screen, or drag it to the Desktop to Create a shortcut there.
While it isn't directly related to the Rochelle web cam issue, but does highligh browser differences.
When I access CBS TV programming with Chrome - the 1st advertisment displays it's opening scene and the screen freezes.
When I access the same program with Firefox it plays as you would expect. Haven't tried with Edge as I gave up on IE before I switched to W10.
Thanks, Semper. I was able to get one started, and I'll experiment some more tomorrow. I'm computer-dumb so it'll take some time.
looks like a project is going on at the 199 switch used by the BNSF Rochelle local. The local's crew has been having problems using the switch for over a week and an inspection by the track department showed several defects in switch components and two ties. Looks like it's time to fix it.
Noticed they were having issues on Friday and had some crews out .. I bet they wish they had done the work then .. camera has a lot of snow today :)
