Looks like the camera is up and going again. Thanks for the info guys. We usually take a trip to that little park a couple times a year. My dad worked for Conrail until it was taken over by NS and CSX. Had a couple cousins who worked for The Grand Trunk also. Dennis

No the water on the camera is due to rain in Rochelle tonight.

Now the cam seems to be taken out of service.....[banghead]

it looks to me from the webcam shots that there might be a fire. those "arches" in the middle of the screen look like water from fire hoses and they keep moving around as if thats what it is

I do believe the fingers are starting to point at UP. From what I heard the MoW may have ran a stop signal or that he just didn't have the proper forms to occupy the diamonds. Whatever the case may be, I bet traffic on the ex CNW is at a standstill. Even I think there may be a ripple effect from the wreck felt on other Class One's in and out of ChiTown(ex. NS, CSX, CN and so on) in the next several hours or up to 24 hours.

I live just west of this collision. The nightly news said that the two trains collided on the diamond. It looks from the webcam that there are boxes everywhere. I might have seen that BNSF train earlier today when I was in Savanna, IL watching the trains there. Sometimes I'm at that intersection in Rochelle watching trains.

I hope everyone is ok...this looks pretty serious!

Supposedly a railgrinder on the UP has collided with a stack train on the BNSF with a POSSIBLE ensuing wreck. By looking at the webcam there appears to be a lot of bright lights and containers ripped open with thier contents spilled all over.

The cam now says "Emergency Situation in Rochelle." Looks like some crumpled containers on the BNSF line.

Hello all,
Just looked at the Rochelle web cam at about 9:30 EST and it looks like there was a derailment or collision. I tuned into WGN but there was nothing on about it. Anybody heard anything. THanks Dennis
