On Saturday June 16, 2007 I spent 8 hours at the Rochelle Railfan Park in Rochelle, Illinois.  The Park sits at the diamond for the busy Union Pacific mainline from Chicago to Council Bluffs and the BNSF line from Chicago to Savanna, IL.  80-100 trains a day can pound through the diamonds. 

TRAINS magazine has a webcam setup at the Railfan Park so people can cyber-railfan.  Click here to check out the action at Rochelle  TRAINS Rochelle Webcam
