What to watch for
Intermodal, manifest, grain, ethanol, automotive and coal trains, plus Amtrak's Southwest Chief. Our spot listing records 60–80 trains a day and roughly 2,000 bridge openings a year. Virtual Railfan streams often carry lineside audio, but we have not confirmed it for this particular camera — check the source before relying on it.
Best viewing times
Around the clock. Bridge openings interrupt rail traffic and are worth waiting for in their own right.
