About this cam

This camera sits on the former CSX railroad bridge across the Tennessee River at Bridgeport, Alabama — an 1896-built deck truss bridge that carried trains for 101 years before CSX donated it to the City of Bridgeport, which converted it into a public walking bridge. The active Chattanooga Subdivision runs alongside, carrying CSX trains toward Nashville and Norfolk Southern trains toward Sheffield, Alabama.

The Tennessee River crossing at Bridgeport, Alabama has carried rail traffic since the 1850s. The bridge this camera sits on was built in 1896 and served the railroad for 101 years before being replaced; CSX then donated the retired span to the City of Bridgeport, which converted it into a public walking bridge along the Historic Bridgeport Walking Trail.

Looking railroad south toward Chattanooga, Tennessee, the camera also covers the active CSX Chattanooga Subdivision, which hosts Norfolk Southern trains running toward Sheffield, Alabama. The operator's companion camera at the Bridgeport Depot Museum sits roughly half a mile north along the same subdivision.
