About this cam
This PTZ camera is hosted by the Central Texas Rail History Center (Flatonia Railroad Museum) at the former Tower 3 site in Flatonia, Texas, overlooking Union Pacific's Glidden Subdivision at milepost 119.56.
This live PTZ camera is part of the SouthWest RailCams network, hosted at Tower 3 by the Central Texas Rail History Center, also known as the Flatonia Railroad Museum (https://www.flatoniarailmuseum.com). It overlooks Union Pacific's Glidden Subdivision at milepost 119.56, where the operator states both Union Pacific freight and Amtrak's Sunset Limited #1 and #2 pass, with a timetable maximum speed of 50 mph for both passenger and freight traffic.
An integrated radio feed carries the UP Glidden Subdivision channel (161.265 MHz, AAR Channel 077) and the nearby UP Cuero Subdivision channel (160.470 MHz, AAR Channel 024); a defect detector at milepost 107.2 on the Cuero Subdivision is also audible. A second SouthWest RailCams camera at the same museum films the Glidden/Cuero Subdivisions diamond itself; this record covers the Tower 3 PTZ view only.
What to watch for
Union Pacific freight and Amtrak's Sunset Limited (#1 westbound, #2 eastbound) on the Glidden Subdivision; Cuero Subdivision traffic is audible on the radio feed even though it is not in view of this camera.
