About this cam
This Steel Highway camera looks out over BNSF's Midway Subdivision from the Minnesota Transportation Museum's Jackson Street Roundhouse in Saint Paul, a working railway museum built around a preserved locomotive turntable.
The camera streams from the grounds of the Minnesota Transportation Museum's Jackson Street Roundhouse in Saint Paul, on BNSF's Midway Subdivision. The operator's description calls it "the 2nd steepest grade in Minnesota" on this camera network, and notes the museum sponsors the camera's hosting without controlling its content.
The Midway Subdivision is a former Great Northern route; Steel Highway's separate camera network also covers it further along at the Midway Express Car Wash, several kilometers to the west (published on Spotatrain as a Virtual Railfan camera, a different operator and a different view).
What to watch for
BNSF freight climbing or descending the grade past the roundhouse, and switching moves around the museum's turntable throat.
