About this cam
A pan-tilt-zoom camera hosted at the Benson Visitor Center looks west over the Union Pacific Lordsburg Subdivision at MP 1032 in Benson, Arizona. The line carries a steady mix of Union Pacific freight and Amtrak's Sunset Limited, with an integrated radio scanner and a defect-detector list for the surrounding miles.
This SouthWest RailCams PTZ feed is hosted at the Benson Visitor Center, facing west over the Union Pacific Lordsburg Subdivision at MP 1032 in Benson, Arizona. The Lordsburg Subdivision between Tucson and El Paso carries Union Pacific freight and connecting short-line traffic, and Benson is also an Amtrak stop for the Sunset Limited (Los Angeles-New Orleans, trains #1/#2). The stream includes an integrated radio scanner covering the UP Lordsburg dispatch channel (160.230 MHz), the San Pedro RR operations channel (160.440 MHz) and the UP Gila channel (160.320 MHz), plus a list of defect detectors heard from this location (MP 1025.9, 1030.7, 1038.1, 1041.8, 1046.2, 1051.8). A separate static camera at the same host faces east toward the San Pedro St crossing.
What to watch for
Union Pacific manifest and intermodal freight on the Lordsburg Subdivision, and Amtrak's Sunset Limited on its Los Angeles-New Orleans run; the operator also runs a static "East" camera toward the San Pedro St crossing from the same host.
