Anybody know what’s going on with the Rochelle Web Cam?
It seems to work one day and not the next.
Sure would be nice to be able to watch trains over the holidays.
Merry Christmas!!!
gtirr
patience must be exercised with anything outside espicially in cold and snow.I’m sure if the higher ups got an email theyd check it out.
stay safe

I was having problems and let TRAINS know and now it seems to be working just fine. The comment about the cold is a valid one, nothing works as well when temps are in the single digits (as they are right now out here in IL) as they do when in the fifities or above (as they are forecast to be later next week here).
You know, it’s weird. You can’t see the main webcam won’t wok, but it still takes pictues. If you look at the recent images, thei will be recent pictures their. The camera is woking, it is just that maybe the internet has poblems. Or one wire works and not the other.
Don’t worry…I feel your pain!
I thought someone said that it was a JAVA issue. However, I went and downloaded the latest version on two different computers and I’m still getting a gray screen with the “JAVA” coffee cup in the upper-lefthand corner.
Any ideas techies?
Yeah, today I am back to the “Java Applet Loading” and nothing. It cleared up for a while when I quit and relaunched Netscape, but as of last night and this morning, no pictures.
I just checked the site, and still nothing, at least for me. Oh well, I’ll check it tomorrow!![:)]
I wi***he diamond could be lighted somehow so I could “railfan” at night too. Sometimes I can see roadnames but only if there is a meet and even than, I see for a few seconds.
Just tried it and it came up instantly! First time I’ve been able to access it since the changeover.
Right now things seem to be working OK, keep your fingers and toes crossed.
I’m not a ‘techie’ at all;but my word of wisdom,is :PATIENCE.[:D]
I’m not getting the ‘live’ shots right now,but did earlier today.
The recent image photos are from yesterday.(12/26/04)
It would be Extremely nice to see in the dark!
BUT DO YOU have extra ‘Bucks’ to throw that way for such?
You know,IT COULD BE WORSE!!!
Beings how Trains Magazine and The City of Rochelle,Il.
Are footing the bill.[:)]
…Just checked on Rochelle and it seems to be working fine…In fact, in 30 sec. saw a train coming at the camera left to right…
Live cam is still working but recent images are still from Sunday. Checked it just in time to catch an eastbound BNSF.
Hmmm…this is the first time through all of this that I haven’t been able to pick up the live action.
Time for my nightly report, No…still doesn’t work!![:)]
Still no pictures streaming this evening. The Java console.log file shows the following:
load: class SiteCamLive.class not found
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.net.ConnectException: Operation timed out
Sounds like a server problem to me.
