About this cam
A community-sponsored live camera overlooking Battleground Avenue (NC 216) in downtown Kings Mountain, North Carolina, where Norfolk Southern's Charlotte District line runs alongside the street through town.
This camera is part of EarthCam's MyCam network, published under the account "Gutterguys" and titled "Downtown Kings Mountain" on screen. Its sponsor, Gutter Guys Inc, describes it on its own Facebook page as follows: "GutterGuys Downtown Kings Mountain Cam is your go-to spot for live views of Battleground Ave in the heart of downtown Kings Mountain. Watch the street activity roll by and catch the trains as they pass through town-all in real time."
The line visible alongside Battleground Avenue is Norfolk Southern's Charlotte District, the former Southern Railway mainline that runs between Greenville, South Carolina and Linwood, North Carolina. A railfan description of this district notes that "from the beginning of NC-216 all the way into Kings Mountain, the tracks hug the road to the north, and in the town itself, the tracks and NC-216 weave through the city" -- NC-216 being Battleground Avenue itself, which is exactly the corridor the camera overlooks.
What to watch for
Norfolk Southern freight on the Charlotte District -- intermodal, manifest and coal trains are all documented on this line -- alongside Amtrak's Crescent (New York-New Orleans), which also runs over this route between Charlotte and Atlanta via Spartanburg. No daily train count is published by the operator, and none is invented here.
