About this cam
NDMILL TV streams a high, wide-angle view down a busy multi-track rail yard in Grand Forks, North Dakota, under the title "North Dakota Mill Feed Mill Line". Rows of covered hoppers and graffitied boxcars stand on parallel tracks on both sides of a concrete pad with a yellow crane.
The stream comes from the YouTube channel NDMILL TV and is titled "North Dakota Mill Feed Mill Line". The channel gives no description, so what the camera is for is not stated; what it shows is a rail yard seen from a tall mast or building.
Tracks fan out down the frame: lines of grey covered hoppers on the right and in the middle, boxcars and a tank-car farm on the left, a yellow boom crane and an orange container on a concrete pad, a white tank farm in the far left and a road curving along the right edge. This is a working industrial yard, so what moves here are cuts of cars being placed and pulled rather than passing trains.
What to watch for
Cuts of covered hoppers and boxcars being moved and spotted on the yard tracks around the crane pad.
