California - Dunsmuir, Dunsmuir Railcam
Pop
Hot!
Dunsmuir, CA - Situated near the California and Oregon border, the Dunsmuir RailCam captures trains as they pass through on the I-5 corridor, the main rail artery linking the Pacific Northwest with California. This system is funded by the Dunsmuir Chamber of Commerce and operates around the clock.
The camera only activates when a train is within range. After a picture is snapped the images are uploaded to the main server within two minutes. The images will remain until another train passes and the images are updated. The system resets near midnight. While the images are still photos, you have the advantage of always being able to see a train on this site. You can also review previous photos taken earlier in the day. This is one of the best Railcams around.

Illinois - Rochelle, Trains Webcam
Pop
Hot!
Ed Pick
Rochelle, IL - In cooperation with the City of Rochelle, Illinois, we present the TRAINS Rochelle Webcam, where nearly a hundred trains may be seen in any 24-hour period. Our camera is mounted facing west at the Rochelle Railroad Park. Union Pacific's former C&NW Chicago - Omaha main line is seen in the foreground on the right, while Burlington Northern Santa Fe's former BN Chicago - Twin Cities line is at left. Both double-track lines cross at the center of the picture.
Streaming video with a very fast refresh rate, lots of traffic, two Class I railroads and 4 tracks, this is an excellent Railcam. A great place for some virtual train watching!

Maryland - Cumberland, Holiday Inn Railcam
Pop
Hot!
Cumberland, MD - Real-time video viewed from the Holiday Inn overlooking the busy CSX Baltimore to Chicago Mainline.
Page is refreshed every 30 seconds. Lots of activity, including Amtrak.
They fixed it! It's working again! This popular cam was plagued with refresh problems in the past. Recently they dropped me an e-mail saying they'd upgraded the software and added a DSL line. It seems to have worked, it's much more reliable now.

Massachusetts - Cape Cod, Canal Cam
Pop
Cape Cod, MA - Distant view of railroad lift bridge. You are looking eastward at the Cape Cod Canal. MMA fields and gymnasium are in the foreground. The Vertical Lift Rail Bridge is in full operation and behind that is the Bourne Bridge. Hang around and you're bound to see a ship on its voyage through the Cape Cod Canal. The lift bridge is interesting, however you'll rarely see a train on this cam.

Washington - Olympia, Centennial Rail Cam
Pop
Hot!
Ed Pick
Lacey (Olympia), WA - Centennial Station is the Amtrak stop for Olympia and Lacey Washington. The station is located on the active Cascades corridor between Seattle, Washington and Portland, Oregon and is serviced by 8 Amtrak trains daily. The double track line is owned by Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) and can host up to 20 freight trains per day. In addition, Union Pacific (UP) has trackage rights on the line and runs an additional 10 to 20 freight trains per day. The totals from the 3 railroads can be as many as 40-50 trains per day.
With a very active double track mainline and Railcam shots for the last 4 trains to pass in each direction, this camera gives an excellent view of BNSF and UP in the Pacific Northwest. Now if they would only install streaming video...

California - San Francisco, Muni Central Control Home
San Francisco, CA - Muni Dispatcher's Board. The image on the Muni Central page shows a line overview of the Muni Metro Railway from Church station to Embarcadero. This image is captured from the screen of the computer in Muni's control center that is used to control trains in the subway via the new Automatic Train Control System (ATCS). The www.sfmunicentral.com web site was created by Booz Allen & Hamilton primarily as a tool for Muni's operating staff and its consultants to view the railway remotely and assess and debug problems. Although not originally intended for the public, once the URL became known, it was decided to continue to allow public access to the site.

Colorado - Tiny Town, Live Steam Railway & Village
Tiny Town, C0 - Tiny town was created at the site of the Denver-Leadville stagecoach stop in a scenic mountain canyon southwest of Denver in 1915. That's when moving-company owner George Turner began constructing one-sixth-sized buildings with a turn-of-the-century flavor to delight his young daughter. In 1920 the town was opened to the public.
The webcam is located at the station for the miniature railway and takes a new shot approximately every 30 minutes.
