Where would you like to see a RailCam?

[Anonymous]

I vote for Howell Junction in Atlanta,GA or at the north wye in Cartersville,GA.
There's a lot of action in Cartersville.

How about one in Deshler,Oh at the crossroads of the B&O their is lots of traffic on the east west line this is a god spot to train watch with the park being their by the tracks and lots of friendly folks as well.

I guess I should have read the rest of the threads before I posetd mine. Marion Oh would be good as well as Fostria Oh I have been to both of those places as well. Fostoria is not as easily to see trains with it being the part of town it is in a web cam would be better. The more web cam the better around the cuntry for thoughs of us who can't travel much to go to all the places to watch trains.Maybe the could be of some good to the railroads as well.

I would definately suggest Fostoria, OH. It has a station to put the cam on and its REALLY BUSY!!

[eolafan]

How about having LIVETRAINS.COM come accross with the two new ones they have been talking about and are mentioned on their web site an dhave been for about two plus years now. Other than that, how about at the Naperville, IL Amtrak/Metra station where you can see eastbounds approaching from about three miles away (takes an average of four to five minutes to cover that distance) and westbounds coming around famous Naperville curve (uphill and about a half mile away to the east).

I have to agree with the UP swing bridge at Clinton. Also the triple track mainline out in Nebraska, etc. Never a dull moment out there. Missouri Valley, where the UP, goes south to Council Bluffs and Omaha, or West to Fremont and then on to North Platte. Really Busy there too.

[kwboehm]

How about Oreapolis, NE...BNSF Creston Sub (Creston, IA to Lincoln, NE, that splits off to Omaha here and crossing the UP Falls City Sub (Omaha to Kansas City)
I also like Fremont, NE (UP from Omaha & Blair [ex C&NW], and BNSF)

HORESHOE CURVE AND PENN COACH YARD

I would like to see a RailCam at Bayview junction in Burlington Ontario.

[cpbloom]

Put a railcam in each direction high atop the Bloomfield bridge over the NS tracks in Pittsburgh; near what location.........CP Bloom of course!

[tree68]

Selkirk or Dewitt on the CSX Chicago line. There is a foot bridge over the east end of Dewitt. Don't have traffic counts, but casual observation is that the line is pretty busy.

For any and all suggested locations - fixed camera (Rochelle), or controllable (Ft Madison)?

And a key point, especially for the really busy routes, frequent updates. I like to visit Rochelle, Ft Madison, and Galesburg (although the Willis Steel camera controls are off-line) in no small part because I'm actually watching trains, not snapshots updated every 5-15 minutes.

[Anonymous]

I think just about any busy spot would be great. BUT..........I would love to have one with streaming audio!! Just think how nice that would be. Espicially is the camera was near a crossing. You could leave the room and listen for the bells!!!

[techguy57]

Someone has probably said these already but Proviso yard in Chicago and F Tower in Fostoria, OH!

[Anonymous]

I VOTE FOR ATLANTA GA SOMEWHERE,FOLKSTON GA, OR UPSTATE SC ON THE PIEDMONT DIV. OR THE CNL LINE OUTSIDE OF LAURENS AND WOODRUFF!!![^][8)][8D][:D][:)]

[spbed]

The crossover between the BNSF Cajon pass line & the UPRR Sunset route. Also Daggett whenre the UPRR iis moving on/off the BNSF Needles sub

[TheS.P.caboose]

I reccomend Burbank Junction and West Colton in California.

[Anonymous]

i need a webcam at truckee I'm sorry i was just up in the tahoe area but the roads were closed to truckee[:(!][xx(][V][:(][censored][censored][censored]

[PBenham]

Bayview Junction, in/near Hamilton ON would be one, since the area is largely surrounded by the local botanical gardens, it couldn't be that [;)]difficult to set one up there. Second, how about amtrak stations? I'll answer my own question with another question: [:o)]WHO AM I TRYING TO KID???[:o)][:0][banghead][X-)]

[railfan619]

I would like to see a web cam put some where here in wisconsin like maybe on the amtrak/cp rail line between milwaukee and chiacgo. I think that would be pretty cool to see trains up close and not get in trouble for trespassing. Or even some where on the UP line. Would be really cool to.

[Anonymous]

Possibly Joliet or La Grange, IL. Or Somewhere along the Northeast Corridor.

[waltersrails]

Mt Vernon IL UP Diamond or Princeton IN CSX diamond.

[spbed]

They took away the ability for the watcher to control the Ft. Madison cam some time ago [;)]
