WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GALESBURG RAILCAM?
Recently, it went "off the air"...
Anyone have any information?
from the Far East of the Sunset Route
(In the shadow of the Huey P Long bridge)
Who runs it? Check their website or Facebook page - there's probably an explanation there.
I don't believe it's a Trains sponsored cam.

If you mean the Youtube / Virtual Railfan one, that appears to be up and running as of now.

It might have been down for repairs. Due to the high winds that Galesburg (and much of the Midwest) has had, it seems the camera's microphone tends to come loose and bang around in the wind sometimes.
Some Virtual Railfan feeds are available for free for a while, then switch to being "members only", doesn't appear that's happened here.
I chielfly watch Deshler. Occasionally there will be a local failure, which might take a day or two to fix, and sometimes it's the YouTube connection that goes awry. If it's YT, that usually means there will be a new URL. That might look like it's down, but it just means you need to use the new URL. If you have it bookmarked, the bookmark will have to be updated.
