The Fort Madison milepost 235 railcam on Trains.com needs less control given to the user. Many times I have turned on the cam and the user has the camera focused on the grass, the park, a brick wall, the street, and other such. Who knows how many trains we miss when this happens. The camera at Rochelle IL is great, as it is fixed and no one can move it. The Fort Madison cam could have 2 or 3 positions only, such as the swing bridge, the east end of the Santa Fe bridge across the river on zoom, and the station to the southwest of the camera. I believe the swing bridge shot is the best with a good shot of all three tracks and good lighting most of the day. <br />What do you think, cam users.? I hope Trains .com will monitor this topic. <br />I just got off the cam and someone had the camera on the grass and park for 15 minutes! <br />I vote for the one fixed shot of the swing bridge and nothing else.
