About this cam

LIVE Trains' fixed camera overlooking the CSX/Norfolk Southern diamond next to Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark in Birmingham, Alabama, with the downtown skyline in the background.

Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark is a former pig-iron blast furnace complex that operated from 1882 to 1971 in Birmingham, Alabama, and is today a museum offering free self-guided tours and paid guided tours. LIVE Trains operates a fixed camera on the site looking out over an active CSX/Norfolk Southern diamond crossing, with downtown Birmingham visible beyond the yard.

The stream has run continuously since January 2025.

What to watch for

CSX and Norfolk Southern freight movements crossing the diamond, signal-gantry activity, and the Birmingham skyline as a backdrop.
