About this cam

A CSX freight train rolls past the Thruway Plaza shopping center in Cheektowaga, New York, on this camera watching the Buffalo Terminal Subdivision around the clock.

This camera looks out from near Thruway Plaza in Cheektowaga, New York, a Buffalo suburb, onto CSX's Buffalo Terminal Subdivision — the freight and Amtrak corridor that threads through Buffalo's rail network between Lancaster and Hamburg, New York.

The feed is run by an independent railfan under the channel name Track Watch, who streams it around the clock as a freight and city-sounds camera. Expect a steady mix of CSX road freight and local switching movements passing near Harlem Road, close to the shopping plaza that lends the camera its name.

Cheektowaga sits just east of Buffalo proper, and this stretch of track connects the city's rail yards to the wider CSX network heading toward Lancaster, Depew and points east.

What to watch for

CSX road freight and local switcher moves through the Cheektowaga rail corridor, framed against the road and greenery bordering Thruway Plaza. The wide-angle view also catches passing road traffic and ambient city sound, part of the channel's appeal.
