About this cam
Steel Highway Rail Cams watches the Union Pacific Clinton Subdivision on the east side of Clarence, Iowa, from the Clarence Sundstop along US 30. Traffic is everything Union Pacific runs between Beverly (Cedar Rapids) and Clinton, and the stream monitors AAR channel 62.
Steel Highway Rail Cams runs this camera on the east side of Clarence, Iowa, looking across the Union Pacific Clinton Subdivision. The operator names the corridor exactly: trains working the UP Clinton Sub between Beverly (Cedar Rapids) and Clinton, Iowa — the route that carries Union Pacific traffic across eastern Iowa towards the Mississippi.
The host is the Clarence Sundstop, a gas station on US 30 at the east end of town, which puts the camera at road level with the highway in the foreground and the elevators of a small Iowa farm town standing behind the tracks.
The stream monitors AAR channel 62 (161.040 MHz), the Clinton Subdivision road channel.
What to watch for
The Clinton Subdivision is a Union Pacific through route rather than a yard, so what you get is running trains: manifests, grain, and intermodal moving between Cedar Rapids and Clinton. The grain elevators behind the line are the reason the town exists and explain the covered hoppers that show up in the consists. Listening on AAR 62 gives you warning well before headlights appear, and because US 30 runs parallel in the foreground you can often judge a train's speed against the traffic.
