We've di$cu$$ed thi$ before.

We'd all love to $ee more web cam$, unfortunately, they co$t a lot of ca$h, both to $et up, and to maintain. Bandwidth i$n't cheap. We can hope that more will be in$talled, but don't hold your breath. If you'd like to $ee a cam at $omeplace $pecific, con$ider contacting a local mu$eum or other touri$m oriented group.

BTW, there was a cam at Tehachapi. Haven't been there lately so don't know if it is still active. There are actually quite a few rail cams around the country, and around the world.

If there are rail web cams in Europe or Asia, I'd think the British would have a few. Please put them up. Because when it's nighttime here it's daytime there. I can't watch train cams at work and it's too dark to see any trains when I get home.

While I'm sure it doesn't list every traincam, the follwing site does have cameras worldwide.

If there are any railroad right of way's that run by nude beaches, those are the ones that get my vote.

Gaviota, north of Santa Barbara, but I don't think you can see the free beach from the trestle.... Old SP Coast Line.

Well, If the museum wanted to put out the money, I would be able to set up one on the CSX main, but self supporting museums arn't made of money, so maybe trains would consider one in Brunswick?
