RailStream's free Mount Carmel railcam, hosted by Mount Carmel High School on Chicago's South Side, looks over the electrified main line shared by Metra, the South Shore Line, Amtrak and Canadian National. RailStream announces approximately 80+ trains a day.

About this cam

The Mount Carmel railcam is one of RailStream's complimentary cameras, free to watch with ads and no login. RailStream runs it "in partnership with Mount Carmel High School" and lists four railroads on the view: Canadian National, Metra, the South Shore Line and Amtrak, with "approx 80+ trains per day" — the busiest figure among RailStream's free cameras.

RailStream's own line for it is "Electrified! Watch Metra, South Shore Line, Amtrak, and CN." The camera looks down on a multi-track main line strung with overhead catenary on steel gantries, with a station's platforms and shelters in the background.

What to watch for

Electric Metra and South Shore Line trains under the catenary, Amtrak passenger trains and Canadian National freight on the same corridor — RailStream counts "approx 80+ trains per day". The view takes in several main tracks, the overhead wire gantries and a station platform with its shelters.
