Welcome to Rochelle
Title:  Welcome to Rochelle
Description:  You know you're in Rochelle when, as you're unloading your gear just after parking your car, the gates on the BNSF go down and you have to dash over to grab this shot from the shady side as two Warbonnets lead a short eastbound manifest through town. No time to set up the tripod for video, either!

Occupational hazard
Title:  Occupational hazard
Description:  When you come to a busy place like Rochelle, there's always a chance a train will be going by as you arrive with no opportunity to shoot it properly. In this case, both eastbound and westbound UP coal trains were crossing 9th St. at the same time. The eastbound (loads) cleared first, and I fished out my DSLR and snapped this shot of the DPU on the westbound even though it was looking straight into the sun, just to have SOMETHING from the two trains.

Description:  Notice the clear signal for westbound movement on the north main. Given the time of day, would have preferred an unobstructed shot of the wstbound intermodal which was solidly blocked by this train's coal gons. This was at least the third time on this day that eastbound and westbound trains passed at the park.
