We went out to Rochelle to watch the trains on Saturday. It is a very popular spot due the heavy traffic caused by the intersection of the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern lines. The town has a dedicated viewing platform to watch the action from a safe distance and a mini (but real) engine that kids can play on. We were there less than an hour and saw three trains. As you can see from the picture it is a bit loud. The town also has a vintage gas station that serves as a visitor center.
