6/4/2016 - Rochelle Railroad Days, also known as Rochelle Railfan Appreciation Days, rolls around again for the year of 2016! Rochelle, Illinois has always been an amazing to railfan, and Railroad Days was the perfect opportunity to film some more videos. Union Pacific 1989 (Rio Grande Heritage) and UP 2001 (Olympic Torch Relay) were parked just outside the railroad park and they were truly a treat to see! It was a very good day of railfanning as well, and here are the descriptions of the trains I caught:
Train 1 (1:25): UP SD70ACe #8465 w/ NS Power leads a tanker train
Train 2 (4:57): UP ES44AC #8205 leads an autorack train with a DPU
Train 3 (6:48): BNSF ES44DC #7522 leads a Z-train
