The web cameras at the Olympia/Lacey, Wash. Amtrak station, one oriented north and another south, provide a good view of the diverse trafic on the BNSF Seattle Sub, including Talgos on the Cascades trains and Superliners on the Coast Starlight, and both BNSF and UP freights.

I love the camera at Ft. Madison until some *%##|!& takes control of it while a train is passing & seems to want to look at the sidewalk or bird droppings on the balcony of the hotel
