Yes I have been refreshing it every 15 minutes or so with no luck except that I did get a pix for a few secs a short time ago so I took that mean someone is working on it. [:D]
It is 0810 on 03/01 & I am now watching a BNSF TOFC train pass the webcam [:D]
I just refreshed it & the refresh worked![:D]
Sorry it is now 0828 & it is NOT operating now. [:(]
I just a Email to the operators of the cam [:D]
I got it for a few seconds today then it went away again & when I tried to refre***he refresh did not work. [:(]
Sent another message to the operator’s of the cam [:(]
Good news I have been watching now for over a hour & all is well. [:D]
Ya I was just on it this morning at 8:30 and all’s well.
Yes all is still well. Do you notice how much more time you get on the FM cam then the Rochelle cam before the disconnect comes? [:D]
Just saw a UPRR WBer double stacker go flying by on the cam! [:D]
Just letting you know so far it is still operating this AM [:o)]
I haven’t had too many problems with that site, although I think there is a different camera there now - it doesn’t zoom in as closely as it used to - can’t see the bridge as well. The zoom is occasionally squirrely, too.
Would be nice if they would/could limit the pan and tilt to usable parameters. No fun looking at the bricks on the front of the Elks lodge…
Yea it was down from last weekend thru yesterday morning when it returned. Yes they also changed the operation of it as at one time you could direct the camera to the steam loco or the bridge or ATSF depot or CBQ depot just ti name some options. Now you cannot get those options. [:o)]
Yes I agree with you all the way. The Cam does have it flaws too. It tends to go out of Focus alot. And makes me so mad is when a Train is coming some moron who is controling the cam points the cam away when the train goes by[:(!],That makes me so angry!
Me to. As I type this a coal train destined for the power plant is passing by [:D]
Just saw this morning UPRR WB D/stacker go wheezing by the cam[:)]
Ya the funny thing is,I have never seen an CN Unit on the Point on BNSF Rails before.
Yesterday was the First for me.
