About this cam
A trackside view of Canadian National's Flint Subdivision at Milepost 302 in Imlay City, Michigan, where CN and Amtrak's Blue Water share track with a daily CSX trackage-rights freight.
Imlay City sits at Milepost 302 on Canadian National's Flint Subdivision, the CN main line linking Flint and Port Huron in Michigan's Thumb region. The subdivision hosts Amtrak's Blue Water service between Chicago and Port Huron, CN's own freight trains, and a daily CSX movement operating under trackage rights.
The camera is run by Steel Highway Railcams and looks out over the through tracks near downtown, past a grain elevator and the town's rail-adjacent buildings.
Scanner listeners can follow radio traffic on AAR channels 28, 32, 56 and 74 (160.530-161.220 MHz), as monitored by the operator at this location.
What to watch for
Watch for CN freight, Amtrak's Blue Water (Chicago–Port Huron), and the daily CSX trackage-rights movement that shares this stretch of the Flint Subdivision. A scanner tuned to AAR 28/32/56/74 (160.530–161.220 MHz) carries the radio traffic the operator monitors here.
