Virtual Railfan runs two PTZ cameras at Waycross, Georgia: a Depot camera hosted by the Downtown Waycross Development Authority and a Diamond camera hosted by Boswell Oil Co. Together they cover the Waycross diamond, where CSX's Jesup, Fitzgerald and Thomasville Subdivisions — all former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad lines — converge next to Rice Yard.
About this cam
Waycross sits on a rail junction, not merely near one. Virtual Railfan's two cameras look at the Waycross diamond, where three CSX subdivisions meet: the Jesup Subdivision, which the operator describes as running northeast to southeast, and the Fitzgerald and Thomasville Subdivisions, which meet at the diamond itself. All three are former Atlantic Coast Line Railroad lines, and the geometry is what makes the spot: whichever way a train is routed, it crosses in front of one of the two lenses. The installation is a pair, and each half has its own host. The operator credits the Downtown Waycross Development Authority for the Depot Camera and Boswell Oil Co. for the Diamond Camera. Only the Depot camera's position is published; the Diamond camera's exact mounting point is not given. The traffic is CSX freight — the operator names intermodal, manifest and autorack trains — and the reason there is so much of it stands just beyond the diamond: Rice Yard, which Virtual Railfan calls a major classification and locomotive facility. No passenger service is mentioned in the operator's description. Freight schedules, in their words, vary, with real-time updates in the chat. The Depot camera carries the chat and is open to anyone; the Diamond camera is flagged Members Only on the same channel. Virtual Railfan strictly prohibits duplication, distribution and re-streaming of its content without prior consent, so this page links to the operator's own stream rather than embedding it.
What to watch for
The diamond is the show. CSX routes intermodal, manifest and autorack trains across the crossing between the Jesup, Fitzgerald and Thomasville Subdivisions, and a single move can put a train across the frame at an angle no straight main line offers. Watch for power shuffles tied to Rice Yard, which Virtual Railfan describes as a major classification and locomotive facility — road units cutting off, yard jobs pulling out, and long strings being sorted just off camera. The Depot camera looks at the historic depot end of downtown; the Diamond camera, hosted by Boswell Oil Co., sits on the crossing itself. Scanner listeners can follow the moves: the operator publishes the CSX road channel as AAR 32, 160.590 MHz, and the CSX JE dispatcher as AAR 14, 160.320 MHz. Everything here is former Atlantic Coast Line — the diamond is the physical residue of a railroad that has not existed under that name since 1967.
