What year did you tape these trains? In the first part, there are mechanical bells on those crossings.

I'm not exactly sure, the frequencies are posted at the railroad park.

[LMFDfireman]

i heard the radio. i think its 161.040 mz. so its near 1? or 3?

[LMFDfireman]

i want to say this is near the UP's global 1. or was it 2...

[EJE665]

Only 50 on the UP? Thats slow! I've never stayed at Rochelle but I stayed in a hotel next to the tracks at De Kalb once and saw 74. Last time I went to Rochelle I was probably there 5 hours and saw around 30 trains, including three meets.

Just curious if you have ever stayed 24 hours here. I can see BNSF putting 25 through here, but I dont know about 35. And 70 on UP probably happens, but I stayed 24 in Malta earlier this year and didnt even get 50. If you've seen over than 100 here than let me know! But as far as I know, it is just a myth.
