Hi, we operate LiveTrains.com. We have made commitments with 2 more Train Cam installations at this time, Belen, NM and Berea, Ohio. We are planning to get these two up and running by the end of March. Galesburg is still considering, so is W. Chicago, Amarillo, TX. and Harrisburg, PA. Our goal is to have up to 6 Train Cams operating by the end of '03.

Hey Sounds Neat Cant Wait Will You Guys Be Having A Option For Dial-Up User People Who Use 28-56 BPS.So that it would be a faster stream instead of a Slower Stream.

For what it's worth, Galesburg and West Chicago get my vote!

James,

I agree with you. Galesburg and West Chicago are absolutely fabulous sites for a train cam.

Can't wait for the new cams. This is great news. Question: Will they be the same kind of cam that is in Ft. Madison, Iowa, that you can control? Why can't sound be added to the picture, or radio traffic? Keep up the good work.
