About this cam
Trains On Demand's west-facing camera at Nevada, Iowa, on Union Pacific's Clinton Subdivision — the companion to their east-facing camera in the same town.
Trains On Demand's west-facing camera at Nevada, Iowa, sits at milepost 180.4 of Union Pacific's Clinton Subdivision, the main line between Boone and Clinton, Iowa. The operator names the 8th Street grade crossing (FRA crossing 190693V) as the closest crossing, and thanks the City of Nevada and the Nevada Street Department for hosting the location.
The operator says up to 25 to 30 trains a day pass here, with a 70 mph speed limit, and that the town is a no-horn zone — so trains run through quietly.
This camera carries the live chat; its eastern twin at the same site carries railroad radio audio. The operator also runs cameras at Boone and Glidden, Iowa.
What to watch for
Union Pacific freight on the double-track Clinton Subdivision, crossing the frame from side to side in front of a row of storage units. The operator counts up to 25 to 30 trains a day at up to 70 mph, and Nevada is a no-horn zone, so expect trains without the usual horn at the 8th Street crossing. At night the camera switches to black-and-white infrared.
