Viewing Album:  05/29/07: Rochelle, IL (Busy Day at the Railroad Park)
 
By:Scott Malec
Dates:5/29/2007 - 5/29/2007
Album Info:Today was my last day of vacation and my time off wouldn't be complete without a trip to Rochelle. It's been about nine months since I've been there and unfortunately I didn't get there until almost 3pm because of a bad stomach ache (lingering effects from my BBQ on Sunday, too much beer and food). The UP dominated the action as BNSF only sent a couple trains through the crossing while I was there. All the pics in this album were taken between 3pm and 6:30pm CST.

Title:  BNSF 695 & 715 & EMDX 9081
Description:  Before this BNSF train arrived, a UP train was sitting on its own mainline for about 10 mins before deciding to move right as this train approached. The BNSF engineer laid on his horn for about 30 seconds straight, not sure if it was out of frustration or anger or what.
