I spent the whole day at the Rochelle Railroad Park and while it wasn't looking promising at first, it ended up being one of my more successful days railfanning. Many catches including BNSF AC44CWs leading, BNSF executive MAC trailing a SD70ACe on a manifest, foreign power DPUs on the UP, and best of all NS 1065 (Savannah and Atlanta unit). Enjoy and don't forget to comment and subscribe!!
