About this cam

A live railcam by the channel Rails of the Midwest, looking over the Union Pacific Geneva Subdivision at milepost 8.5 in Oak Park, Illinois. Several tracks and a long covered platform fill the view, with east and west labelled on screen, the operator's scanner frequencies and a Metra tracker map.

Rails of the Midwest names this stream "UP Geneva Sub Railcam MP 8.5 - Oak Park IL Railcam". Its description lists the radio frequencies to listen on (Union Pacific 160.890 and CTA 471.0625), links to an information page on the Geneva Sub and to a spreadsheet of train logs, and invites viewers to support the stream.

The view looks down at a stretch of multi-track main line beside a long covered platform, with a tall residential building behind it and a street along the far side of the tracks. East and west are labelled at the top left, and a map of the line with a train-tracker overlay runs along the bottom right. The camera was streaming in rain when this picture was reviewed.

What to watch for

Trains on the several tracks beside the covered platform, with east and west labelled on screen and the scanner frequencies listed in the description.
