About this cam

Virtual Railfan’s east-facing camera at the Flagstaff, Arizona station watches BNSF’s Southern Transcon. Counts vary by source — the camera operator cites around 60 trains a day, while peak claims run as high as 100 — plus Amtrak’s Southwest Chief in each direction.

What to watch for

High-speed intermodal in waves, and the Southwest Chief’s two daily station stops.
