Two fixed Virtual Railfan cameras cover BNSF's St. Joseph Subdivision at Parkville, Missouri, on the north bank of the Missouri River just northwest of Kansas City — one view facing east toward Kansas City, the other west toward Lincoln.
About this cam
The cameras sit at milepost 9.660 of BNSF Railway's St. Joseph Subdivision, the line running from Murray Yard in Missouri to Lincoln, Nebraska. Two fixed views — one aimed east toward Kansas City, one aimed west toward Lincoln — cover the crossing in the middle of Parkville. According to Virtual Railfan, the location sees up to 45 trains a day: BNSF manifest, intermodal and local freights, at a track speed of 45 mph. Because Parkville is not a quiet zone, train horns are audible at the crossing. The installation is hosted by VFW Post 7356. Parkville is a riverside town on the Missouri River northwest of Kansas City that hosts community events through the year.
What to watch for
BNSF freight is the whole show here — manifest, intermodal and local trains working the St. Joseph Subdivision at 45 mph. The east view looks toward Kansas City and Murray Yard; the west view heads out toward Lincoln, Nebraska. With horns sounding at the crossing (not a quiet zone) and up to 45 trains a day claimed by the operator, quiet stretches rarely last long.
