About this cam

This camera looks west along the multi-track CSX/Norfolk Southern main line that runs directly beside the Lake Shore Railway Museum in North East, Pennsylvania. The museum reports 40 to 60 trains a day on the combined lines, making this one of the busiest freight corridors on Spotatrain's live cam directory.

The Lake Shore Railway Historical Society and Museum sits at 31 Wall St in North East, Pennsylvania, directly alongside a former New York Central "water level route" corridor now split between CSX (Erie West Subdivision) and Norfolk Southern (Lake Erie District). This camera faces west down the museum's trackside platform, with a companion camera (East) covering the opposite direction.

The museum operates a scanner feed of railroad radio traffic separately on Broadcastify, and states that between 40 and 60 trains pass on both railroads each day.

What to watch for

CSX and Norfolk Southern freight traffic on parallel main tracks; occasional museum equipment moves on the adjacent siding; a companion East camera covers the opposite direction from the same platform.
