Ditto to spbed and chad thomas:
Daggett, Calif.---all the BNSF Transcon, plus all the Union Pacific's LA&SL. Seeing it in person is a treat, but the Mojave Desert is brutally hot this time of year.
Personally, I'd like to see webcam installed on the FEC at the New River Drawbridge in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Maybe even two webcams...One facing nb and the other sb. This is scenic, double track territory with a plenty of traffic. It's also well lit at night and meets are common.
This idea has been thrown around on the FECrailway Yahoo Group which I'm a member of. The biggest obstacle being... Who'd host it?

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.
