I’d love to see a study done to see how long the UP occupies the crossing vs the BNSF BNSF local is the only one they have at a slow speed. The UP is parked on the diamond right now The UP velocity in this area leaves a lot to be desired this is still a throat into the UP Proviso area which is their major Chicago HUB (Well one of three) and so traffic is subject to inconsistency’s because of those hubs BNSF has no such problems as their hubs are all farther away than UP’s train watching his train watching and I’m glad to have all the UP I can get since Virtual Railfan seems to be run by BNSF and CSX/NS fans What happened to the picnic table at the end of the fenced enclosure Is there any Amtrak action at Rochelle crossing Am I the only one that seems to see BNSF moving right along at or close to track speed while the UP trains just plod along up no audio an when I click on for audio I loose the picture Since knowone cares to maimtain the camera at Rochelle Night time view with the correct time of day Please move the weather information to the upper righthand corner or lower center Most viewers are not from Rochelle and the weather there isn’t important Why is the weather illustrated in the middle of the screen How about moving the weather text so it isn’t directly over the tracks It’s been showing the middle of the night for two days now At 10:04 am on Feb 22,22 the camera is not working properly It would be nice if somebody could go out and clean the camera lens (or protector glass or ?) The same nebulous blob has been hovering over the relay cabinet for several weeks I suspect that’s a remote function that could be easily tweaked if anyone who is authorized knew about it I have to say this is my favorite railcam/railroad park I am very happy with the rochelle railroad park webcam now keep up the good work Please return the sound function for the smaller sized view Having sound on the full screen version only does not allow doing other computer tasks at the same time This new format is an Edison moment – great way to discover directions to avoid I get two or three emails a day from Trains If you get your webcam problems resolved I may order some more of your stuff I used the page zoom to expand the picture to where I wanted when I came back to it in the afternoon I lost the whole tool bar at the bottom the share button (that didn’t work anyway) and the current temp I’ve had no issues with the webcam for months it would be nice to have sound back and be able to go full screen with clarity we had it before can you bring it back please i and many others enjoy the webcam alot I’VE BEEN A SUBSCRIBER SINCE VOL1 #1 OF CLASSIC TRAINS I’M SURE SOME OF THE POSTS COME FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN WITH YOU LONGER MAYBE WHEN RENEWAL TIME COMES I’LL CHANGE TO A FISHING MAGAZINE!!!!! I don’t think anyone from Trains reads these posts OR email I sent them an email about it no longer works on my Fire TV and got no answer if I have the cam running and go to another tab Using Safari on my Mac I only get a still picture that’s infrequently updated Thanks for the sliding volume control lever Now if you’d have just sharpened up the focus I know…we’re never satisfied…!) I see a sound icon has been added to the pop-up toolbar with a train silently going across in one of them at times How much effort does it take to at least respond and explain to Trains patrons what the thinking was/is about no sound on the “improved” webcam in most instances do the BNSF trains seem to be rolling right along while the UP trains seem to I agree — UP does seem to run through much slower Sometimes they completely stop and then back-up to not foul the crossing There is a small yard on the UP line just west of the diamond This accounts for the slow approach and departure speeds and the back and forth across the diamond as large trains are built up Google Earth gives you a nice view of the neighborhood I have no problem with webcams all over the country Why do I only have a problem with Rochelle???? This site is the only web RR camera I watch that does not have history Need a better camera and the ability to browse through at least 12 hours of past action Trains.com certainly still has many challenges still unsolved as of the end of July One other thing…there is a low level hum or buzz in the audio It’s not terrible but could probably be easily eliminated The site is fine…and I enjoy the train watching The ‘old view’ was definitely better there are a couple of things that could be improved on the ‘new’ look It appears that some sort of plexiglass protective shield had been added and the result is a lot of strange distortion in the picture in the late afternoon hours the overall focus doesn’t seem to be as sharp Kooks like “hobos” have moved-in under the rr track display Well now a homeless man is moving concrete ash blocks into the lower viewing section Waking back and forth across BNSf main tracks and throwing them over the fence Today I saw what looks like homeless man and two unleashed dogs living in the lower park I have seen him before without the dogs at different times of the day Just saw them come up from the lower level May 22nd and see that the “new” view is still terrible Guess I’ll try in another month and see if it has been returned to the “old” view or I am dumping this one This is one of the big reasons I subscribe to the the magazine Sorry if you’ve been experiencing difficulties We’re having some teething pains with the new Trains.com site There is a pop-up tool bar on the bottom of the screen that allows you to turn sound on and off We are still in the “pardon our dust” phase of the site launch Why does it say “You have 7 views remaining.” near the top of the page Has anyone ever given any thought to the notion of nighttime lighting to be able to identify the trains at night I hate to pile on but the new webcam t’aint any good well I can’t find anything else wrong with it but I’ll keep looking Why is it folks have to “fix” what isn’t broken 😠 all I see is a black screen with the Earthcam logo These changes are so sad…took something good and messed it up It looks like something the government would do Getting used to navigating the new sight – and while different Except: Could we please get a link (button maybe) from news wire to the web cam In order to make the jump I have to relaunch the browser Please restore the old layout of the Rochelle webcam webpage The new page layout shrinks the actual webcam window and crams in a large ad Full screen mode does NOT solve this issue as I want to have other windows opened along with Rochelle in my daily work This has been my default desktop for 6 years The convention on the Internet is that if you pay for a website (as we all do for Trains.com and the Rochelle webcam) Update: for those who want the Rochelle webcam window larger but not full screen display the window and then tap CTRL-SHIFT-+ (CTRL This zooms that browser window and grows the webcam window Picture is much smaller than used to be! anyway) and the webcam resolution on full screen is indeed I just cannot get over what an astounding mess you folks have made of your web pages PLEASE return to the previous style which was vastly superior to the mess you’ve created here but I want to do other things with my computer than watch a single webcam I do not get the full screen and the picture clarity diminishes Plus in a round about way we do “pay” for it through our subscriptions If I had to pay additional for the service now I would decline based upon the quality received People – press/click the BUTTON to take the view to full screen Press/click the small SPEAKER icon to turn on the sound As much as I don’t care for the new website as long as other than being a subscriber I don’t have to PAY for access to News Wire or the webcam it’s not that bad Still not fixed … must click back and forth on play & pause & full screen to eventually get it to show anything!

Plaza the six-story project will soon rise at 120 West Passaic St with the help of a $34.8 million construction loan from Provident Bank The developer’s plans call for upscale one- and two-bedroom homes and amenities such as lounge space providing a location that is minutes from routes 4 Interstate 80 and the Garden State Parkway JLL senior managing directors Michael Klein and Jon Mikula arranged the financing on Tulfra’s behalf Provident’s vice president of commercial real estate “We are grateful to our financing team,” said Sonny Jumani “Provident Bank has provided financing for many Tulfra projects over the past 20 years The Delford will be part of Village Center of Rochelle Park a mixed-use development including 8,000 square feet of retail space and a 100,000-square-foot self-storage facility which has since been sold to a self-storage operator Other amenities for the apartment building will include a swimming pool with a lounging deck and grills along with covered

also a 15-minute drive from the George Washington Bridge with public transportation along routes 17 and 4 Controversy over pride flag was last straw A venomous split between Republicans in Rochelle Park led to the censure and removal of Perrin Mosca as mayor on Wednesday and the withdrawal of GOP party support for his re-election campaign after calling some elected officials “not good Catholics” for supporting the raising of a rainbow flag during Pride Month and then threatening colleagues who disagreed with him “Mosca has embarrassed the township and brought its governance to a screeching halt threatening two decades of progress,” said Republican municipal chairman Frank Valenzuela he used his position to create a negative atmosphere guided by his personal ideals versus what is best for the residents of Rochelle Park.” The township committee voted 4-0 to pull the mayoralty from Mosca – Democrat Linda Boniface joined three Republicans;  Deputy Mayor Jennifer Appice will serve as acting mayor until a vote for a new mayor can be held at the governing body’s next meeting Valenzuela said Mosca has not been to a meeting since last month “Rochelle Park Republicans have always governed as common-sense conservatives,” Valenzuela said I believed he understood and knew the role he was nominated for and believed in the values of good government and the best interest of the residents and the township.” Valenzuela said he can’t support Mosca for a second term The infighting among Republicans could result in Democratic control after the November election  Republicans have a 4-1 majority on the township committee but three of their seats are on the ballot this year face Democrats Teresa Judge Cravello and Jorge Martinez and Joseph Scarpa a former Republican mayor who is running as an independent In a special election for an unexpired term Republican Robert Marut is up against Democrat Thomas Miller as he has already been advised as well as to drop off the Republican ticket,” stated Valenzuela  “If Mosca cares about the future of the town one iota ROCHELLE PARK — The more dust-covered the boxes the more enticing they are for Warren Renner The 65-year-old is among

small town “Our research team has a big job to do but is up to the task,” Renner said “One benefit of the quarantine is that we have so much time on our hands.” Rochelle Park was originally incorporated as Midland Township on March 7 Residents officially changed the township’s name in 1929 when the Rochelle Park Station was built along the single rail near the east bank of the Saddle

Committee member Gail Artola said during the June 14 meeting "I understand things are heated and personal Mosca said his closed-session actions weren’t physical and it was a “heated argument.” He said he was upset because one member told him he would have their support and another would change their vote if they saw division among the public They just left me to hang out to dry,” Mosca said He also said Boniface called his wife a “name I won’t repeat” which made him more emotionally charged a resolution to remove Mosca as the mayor was also approved Deputy Mayor Jennifer Appice said that in the best interest of the township and residents and she made a motion to remove him as mayor "He has shown an inability to disagree and communicate with members in a civil manner," Appice said "His intention is to govern with his own personal beliefs and convictions rather than governing for our residents." who said he was not at the meeting because he was boycotting June meetings in response to the pride flag said he was "blindsided" and felt "betrayed." "But I'm not even worried about that anymore," Mosca said this week but now my new goal is to protect the children Everything else in this country is attacking children I'm going to use my platform now to spread the truth about what's going on in this country has two copies of a "gender queer book that's almost like a pornography book," he said "That's the kind of stuff we're dealing with and I will continue to fight for these kids to be left alone and let parents decide when to talk about this stuff." Boniface responded to Mosca's speech to rescind the flag ordinance with a one-handed salute and can be heard on video calling the mayor "Hitler." Later The resolution that censured Boniface said it was for the gesture made toward Mosca that was deemed "offensive and inappropriate." who voted against the township displaying the pride flag because she said she is against all flags other than the official government said she was proud of Boniface before the gesture but this kind of behavior can't be done at meetings," Artola said before voting "I liked Linda at the last work session meeting and was very proud that we were able to disagree in a way that was productive Boniface voted against the motion to censure her and said what she did was "a salute to a dictator" and admitted to calling him Caesar and Putin before "It was in no way antisemitic," Boniface said during the June 14 work session Boniface referred all questions this week to the township attorney Mosca said it wasn't the first time Boniface has made such gestures to him in public and that he has reached out to District 38 Democrats to inform them of her actions “I personally can’t believe it," Mosca said it would be national news because I’m a Republican Mosca said he still hasn't decided whether he will attend the Wednesday Thirty-five years ago, three immigrants in pursuit of the American dream opened an Italian restaurant. The trio — Manuel Moreira, Lino Queirolo and Paolo Gilberto — called the spot Nanni Ristorante Nanni continues to thrive as one of Rochelle Park's most beloved restaurants white-tablecloth spot is as strong as ever home to honor Moreira and his contributions to the local community "Senator Schepisi and two former mayors will be here to recognize my dad and deliver a commemorative award for his 35 years in the restaurant industry." As the sole owner now — Queirolo and Gilberto have since died — Manny (as his regulars call him) "has been the most important piece of the puzzle in keeping the restaurant alive," his son said "His commitment and dedication are what allows Nanni to continue to be successful." who used to work as a personal chef for Frank Sinatra he has worked "every role in the house," and he knows each of his regular customers by name locals have made Manny and Nanni a part of their lives "I got introduced to this place 35 years ago from my colleagues," longtime customer Michael Petriella said I've eaten more meals here than any other restaurant; my daughter even had her rehearsal dinner here Nanni's is a restaurant you can count on — the atmosphere is congenial and the food is excellent." Queirolo and Gilberto opened Nanni Ristorante after leaving now-shuttered Archer's once one of the most well-known restaurants in the region and among its most expensive After seeing a nearby property go up for sale the trio decided to launch a similarly elegant restaurant but with simple Italian dishes at more affordable prices Even after the death of his business partners (Queirolo died during the COVID pandemic) Moreira has kept the restaurant running as always "Nanni opened the same month my wife and I got married," said Mike Marino The main thing about a restaurant is consistency we've had the same few chefs and waiters." "Nanni's got a very predictable environment," he said With few exceptions — takeout is now available and reservations can be made on Open Table — the restaurant still feels like a step into the past "It has always kept its old-school charm," Robert Moreira said "The pasta here is really good," said Mikki Swartz Throughout the years, Nanni Ristorante has powered through, despite economic downturns, 9/11, Superstorm Sandy and COVID (the restaurant lost 95% of its business during the pandemic) and I'm here every day to handle that for the customer." Robert Moreira worries that the longtime staff of Nanni will soon begin to move on from its elegant With waiters nearing retirement and their dad in the twilight of his career Christopher — whom he has enlisted to help him preserve the restaurant — have started preparing for a not-too-distant changing of the guard "My brother and I have been trying to adapt and learn to make sure Nanni will stay exactly the way it is now even after the current staff leave," Moreira said have been at the spot since its 1988 beginnings “We're not just holding this ceremony to celebrate the 35 years we've had; we want to tell everyone we're going to be here for another 35." when Manny Moreira hangs his commemorative plaque next week he'd best leave space on the wall for the next one Tulfra Real Estate has kicked off a series of improvements at a development site in Rochelle Park part of a mixed-use project that will revive a former AT&T data facility said it is currently focused on beautification efforts at the 7.5-acre parcel at 120 West Passaic St That will include a series of upgrades to an on-site retention pond on the southwest corner of the property as well as extensive landscaping throughout that will enhance the site for planned residential and retail uses The developer has already completed a 100,000-square-foot 816-unit self-storage facility at what’s known as Village Center of Rochelle Park “This significant next stage of development will transform the old retention pond into a public park — a beautiful setting to walk get inspired and significantly enhance the quality of life for all residents of the community,” said Sonny Jumani president and partner of Tulfra Real Estate “We are eagerly looking forward to seeing these renovations come to fruition.” plans for the retention pond renovation include dredging aerating the surrounding turf and integrating extensive landscaping designed to beautify the pond and help maintain the integrity of the pond walls Those steps will manage stormwater to prevent flooding while also adding to the aesthetics of the property shrubbery and plants alongside the areas of the property that face West Passaic Street and throughout designated open space between the new apartment complex and Sprout Brook Its additional plans include 8,000 square feet of build-to-suit retail space and a 160-unit luxury apartment complex capitalizing on a location across the street from the Westfield Garden State Plaza immediate access to major highways and proximity to New York City “We are now actively searching for the right mix of retail tenants that will complement the project,” Jumani said “There are two pads that offer great visibility to the main road.” Tulfra breaks ground on self-storage project at Rochelle Park redevelopment site
