About this cam
Fixed rooftop camera above track four at San Diego's Santa Fe Depot, looking north between Ash Street and Broadway. Six tracks are visible: two MTS Trolley (Blue/Green Line) tracks with overhead wire on the right, and four Amtrak Pacific Surfliner / COASTER / BNSF freight tracks on the left.
This fixed camera sits above track four at San Diego's Santa Fe Depot — the southern terminus of the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner — between Ash Street to the north and Broadway to the south, pointing north. The operator states the exact coordinates in the stream description: 32.71747, -117.17023.
Six tracks are visible. The two tracks on the far right, with overhead catenary, carry the MTS Trolley Blue and Green Line light-rail cars past the Little Italy Trolley Station (visible at Beech Street, top of frame). Tracks one through four, on the left, are shared by the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner and North County Transit District's COASTER commuter trains; track four (directly below the camera) is normally reserved for platform overflow and special trains (e.g. Padres games), and is also used by BNSF freight trains — the operator states there are usually about four freight movements through here each night.
Downtown San Diego is a train-horn quiet zone, and the operator explicitly states the stream carries no audio.
