About this cam
Virtual Railfan's cameras at Greencastle are hosted at the historic High Line Train Station, built in 1909 and managed by the Greencastle Area Youth Foundation. Six miles north of the Maryland line, they cover Norfolk Southern freight on the Harrisburg Division's Lurgan Branch between Lees Cross Roads and Hagerstown.
Virtual Railfan's Greencastle cameras sit at the historic High Line Train Station, a 1909 building managed by the Greencastle Area Youth Foundation, six miles north of the Maryland state line in Franklin County.
The line below is Norfolk Southern's Lurgan Branch, part of the Harrisburg Division, running between Lees Cross Roads, Pennsylvania and Hagerstown, Maryland. This is a freight corridor: the Lurgan Branch feeds the Hagerstown gateway, one of the busier interchange points in the mid-Atlantic.
Two cameras are published. The east-facing camera, free and carrying the chat, looks towards Harrisburg; a west-facing camera pointing at Hagerstown is reserved for Virtual Railfan members. The stream monitors 160.950 MHz (AAR 56), the Norfolk Southern road channel for the Lurgan Branch.
What to watch for
This is Norfolk Southern freight and nothing else — no passenger service on the Lurgan Branch — so the interest is in the traffic feeding Hagerstown: intermodal, manifest, and the interchange moves that make the gateway work. The 1909 station building is in frame, and the operator names the direction of each camera so you can tell which way a train is headed: east towards Harrisburg on the public view, west towards Hagerstown on the members' view. Broadcastify carries the Lurgan Branch feed for the whole Lees Cross Roads to Hagerstown stretch.

Spots Near This Camera
Hagerstown (NS/CSX)
Hagerstown, Maryland's historic "Hub City" where CSX, Norfolk Southern, and Winchester & Western railroads converge. Watch freight operations from multiple vantage points near the downtown shared trackage, adjacent to the Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum.
Harpers Ferry
A premier railfan destination on CSX's Cumberland Subdivision at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, where 20-25 daily CSX freights, MARC commuter trains, and Amtrak's Floridian pass through a dramatic tunnel-and-bridge sequence.
Brunswick (MARC Yard)
Brunswick sits at the junction of CSX's Metropolitan and Cumberland Subdivisions in Frederick County, Maryland. Once home to the B&O Railroad's massive classification yard — up to 7 miles long and at one time billed as the largest owned by a single railroad — the town remains a CSX crew change point and the primary MARC commuter service facility for the Brunswick Line. The 1891 E.F. Baldwin-designed depot, C&O Canal towpath, and adjacent trackage offer excellent public viewing of 20-25 daily CSX freights, 12 weekday MARC trains, and Amtrak's Floridian.
