Russellville, Arkansas — Union Pacific Van Buren Subdivision

Virtual Railfan hosts this camera in downtown Russellville, Arkansas, looking over the Union Pacific Railroad's Van Buren Subdivision — formerly the Missouri Pacific (MoPac) main line between Little Rock and Kansas City. The installation is hosted by Main Street Russellville.

The traffic here is all freight: the operator notes plainly that no Amtrak trains pass through Russellville. Virtual Railfan's own promotion claims around 30 Union Pacific trains a day at this location, though there is no published schedule for freight. An ATCS layout exists for the line but has no data-server coverage at this spot.

Across the tracks sits Stoby's Restaurant, home to preserved passenger cars from the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad (the "Rock Island"); the steam whistle heard on the feed comes from there. Two feeds are offered — a free South cam with community chat, and a members-only North cam.

This is a busy Union Pacific freight line, the ex-MoPac Little Rock–Kansas City main; Virtual Railfan advertises about 30 UP trains a day, all freight, with no Amtrak. Watch for UP road freights rolling through the middle of downtown Russellville, with the green Rock Island heavyweight passenger cars preserved at Stoby's Restaurant framing the far side of the tracks. There is no freight schedule, so trains arrive unannounced — the community chat on the South cam often calls them early.
