Rochelle 1404 Heads and Tails - 04/26/2014

April 26, 2014: A sunny but cold and windy day at the famed Rochelle Railroad Park sees 31 trains in just over 9 hours between 09:32 to 18:41, averaging 18 minutes between trains ranging from 3 minutes to an hour. 22 trains moved on UP trackage consisting of 8 coal, 5 intermodal, 4 manifest, 3 hopper, an autorack and a power move. 9 trains passed on BNSF trackage showing leading power from CN, CSX, NS, UP, and even KCS (assisted by CIT), 6 of which were tankers moving evenly east and west. Only 1 meet was seen (UP East/West) and 1 train (UP East) waited for the diamonds within view of the park.
