Fortunately I am too poor to pay attention, but I am super excited to see the new webcam.  I have been on the forum a day or two and know they have always had a tiny pix that you could barely see, so KUDOS to the K people.  Now I will watch this instead of the Netherlands! Or maybe change off.

How ironic!  I tuned in just in time to see the forums favorite subject - a tanker unit train going by!

Now THAT'S what I"m talkin' 'bout.  Full screen.  Very good resolution.  Thanks to whomever is responsible!

[DennisHeld]

I just discovered it has SOUND!!  SOUND!!  Sweet Mother!!  I am totally agog.

SJ, was your tank train on UP or BNSF?  If UP, it was likely for ethanol, not crude oil.

I saw the other thread first tonight, but I'll reiterate my first thought when I opened the page to see--and hear--a stack train headed east on UP:  Wow! 

Resolution--that's the word...I need would like a little more.  I'll bet locomotive numbers would be visible in many cases if I could see clearly!

BC - BNSF headed up north.  Actually I saw one on each - UP was later.  That's why I put tanker unit train - it could have been hauling water for all I know.

AHHHHHH! Finally, a webcam worthy of the flagship of the railroad magazines. I have spent the afternoon watching trains come and go using the full screen and LISTENING to them too. As the navy would say-DELIVER BRAVO ZULU TO KALMBACH FOR A JOB WELL DONE.

Just observed something new on the webcam- eastbound UP mixed manifest on Track 2, relatively short (maybe 35-40 cars) with two spartan cabs for power.  What was new was the fact that there were several cars being pushed AHEAD of the engines, and a crew member riding the first one.  No horn warnings from this one...
