About this cam
This PTZ camera overlooks the Great Lakes Central Railroad and the Steam Railroading Institute grounds on South Washington Street in Owosso, Michigan, home of the Pere Marquette No. 1225 steam locomotive.
This camera is hosted by the Steam Railroading Institute on South Washington Street in Owosso, Michigan, and shows the Great Lakes Central Railroad as it operates west out of Owosso Yard.
The Institute operates the Pere Marquette No. 1225 Berkshire-class steam locomotive, running its Polar Express trains and other excursions over the Great Lakes Central throughout the year.
The camera is PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) and volunteer-operated; the Institute publishes a public schedule for camera operators. A radio frequency (AAR 31 – 160.575 MHz) is monitored alongside the video feed.
