The first BNSF seen after arriving at the Rochelle RR Park and the camera began acting poorly. Luckly later on after a few UPs past, the camera was fixed.
One of many repainted D9-44CWs seen roll pass the Rochelle RR Park either due to repairs following a derailment or just a general repaint.
A BNSF AC4400 leads a Canadian visitor past the Rochelle RR Park @ speed!
Two high horsepower GEs lead a local past the Rochelle RR Park just prior to making a good sized set-out at the small BNSF yard a few miles from here to the SW.
Another empty crude oil train rolls west into the setting sun. Most of these trains rolling west were powered by Norfolk Southern units but a couple had straight BNSF motive power.
Local power for the Greater Rochelle & Rochelle areas takes a break for a few days by the downtown office.
Another repainted D9-44CW into the current livery.
