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
