Colfax, California — PTZ Camera

Colfax, California sits on Union Pacific's Roseville Subdivision in the Sierra Nevada foothills, a segment of the original Central Pacific transcontinental route. This PTZ camera is hosted by the Placer-Sierra Railroad Heritage Society (which operates the Colfax Heritage Museum in the town's restored 1904 Southern Pacific depot) together with the City of Colfax. The view covers the through track climbing toward Donner Pass, with the museum building and Grass Valley Street grade crossing just out of frame. Union Pacific freight is the dominant traffic, BNSF operates under trackage rights, and Amtrak's California Zephyr (#5 westbound, #6 eastbound) passes daily. SouthWest RailCams monitors the Union Pacific Roseville Sub road channel (AAR 014, 160.320 MHz) and integrates that scanner audio into the stream.
