About this cam
WBON TV, the local television station in Richmond, Kentucky, streams this tower camera on its "Big Hill Rail Crossing", where the CSX CC Subdivision crosses the road. The view looks across the gated crossing, its signals, the parking lots and the brick buildings around it.
WBON TV lists this camera as "Big Hill Rail Crossing" on its "LIVE Tower Camera Feed" page, next to five other tower cameras (downtown Richmond, two more Big Hill views, Brassfield in Madison County and Little Doe Creek in Estill County) that show no railway. The picture looks across a signalled crossing with gates at the centre of the frame, with the track curving off toward the lower left, a wide intersection with traffic lights, parking lots and a brick building behind.
The same camera is also relayed on YouTube by Bluegrass Weather Communications as "CSX CC Subdivision Railcam | MP 118.9 / Richmond KY", with the note that it is hosted and operated by WBON TV; that relay is where the line and milepost come from. No train was in view when this picture was reviewed.
What to watch for
CSX trains crossing the road with the signals flashing and the gates down, and traffic stopping at the crossing.
