About this cam
SouthWest RailCams operates two cameras at milepost 227.43 of Union Pacific's Austin Subdivision in New Braunfels, Texas, hosted by the New Braunfels Historic Railroad Museum. One is a pan-tilt-zoom camera carrying the chat; the other is a fixed camera facing east. The operator names everything that runs here: Union Pacific, BNSF Railway on trackage rights, and Amtrak's Texas Eagle — number 21 westbound and number 22 eastbound — when routed on M1. The timetable maximum speed is 30 mph for both passenger and freight, so trains move slowly through the location. An integrated radio feed broadcasts 160.74000 MHz (AAR 042), the Union Pacific road channel for the Austin Sub in the New Braunfels area. A hot box and dragging equipment detector at milepost 227.3 transmits on arrival and on defect only.
What to watch for
A 30 mph limit for both freight and passenger means everything here is slow enough to read properly — reporting marks, car types, locomotive numbers. Union Pacific is the owner, but BNSF trains run on trackage rights, so foreign power is routine rather than rare. Amtrak's Texas Eagle, numbers 21 and 22, is the scheduled highlight when routed on M1. The detector at milepost 227.3 calls on arrival, giving you warning. And the host is a railroad museum, so the setting is deliberately railway.
