About this cam
Iron Rail Cams watches BNSF's Birmingham Subdivision at New Albany, Mississippi, facing west at the location known as South Peck, milepost 561. The operator states this is the only camera on the entire line between Birmingham, Alabama and Memphis, Tennessee.
Iron Rail Cams operates this camera at New Albany, Mississippi, on BNSF's Birmingham Subdivision, the route between Birmingham, Alabama and Memphis, Tennessee. The operator makes a claim worth recording: this is the only camera located on that line.
The camera faces west at the location railroaders call South Peck, at milepost 561. The host is WNAU 1470 AM, a local classic-hits radio station, and the operator credits them for allowing the installation.
Radio audio is not yet available. The operator explains why, and the reason is unusual: the camera's proximity to the AM broadcast tower produces interference when they try to receive railroad frequencies. They state they are still working on it.
Iron Rail Cams publishes a public train log and invites viewers to suggest new camera locations.
What to watch for
A single-track secondary main between Birmingham and Memphis, and the only place you can watch it live. Traffic is BNSF freight working the corridor — manifest and merchandise rather than the intermodal parades of the Transcon. South Peck at milepost 561 is a named location, so the published train log lines up with what you see. The absence of scanner audio is deliberate and explained: the AM transmitter next door drowns out the railroad frequencies.

Memphis (CN/CSX Junction)
Kentucky Street interlocking is where four Class I railroads cross at grade in downtown Memphis — BNSF, UP, and CSX lines all cross the CN north–south main. One of the busiest flat crossings in the South, with 35+ daily freights on the CN line alone.
Fulton (CN Junction & Yard)
Fulton, Kentucky sits where Canadian National's Cairo and Fulton Subdivisions converge at an active freight yard with crew change and fueling facilities. Once the Illinois Central's banana re-icing hub, the town still sees 10-15 CN freights daily plus the Amtrak City of New Orleans.
Irondale (Birmingham)
Two city-built train-watching platforms flank the 20th Street grade crossing at the southwest throat of Norfolk Southern's Norris Yard, a major hump classification facility in Irondale, Alabama. Around 50 trains per day pass the platforms on the AGS Subdivision, including mainline freight, yard moves over the hump, and Amtrak's Crescent (trains 19 and 20) twice daily in daylight. The Irondale Café—the real-life inspiration for Fannie Flagg's novel "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café"—sits directly across 1st Avenue North from the north-side pavilion.
