ABOUT THIS FEED:

The camera is the SW quadrant of the crossing, mounted on the NE corner of the Morrison Supply Company. Tower 55 formerly stood adjacent to the diamond on the far side of the tracks. There are more than 60 freight trains that travel through here a day - UP, BNSF and FWWR. Amtrak runs two trains daily that pass through here, #21 & 22, the Texas Eagle. You can see the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) line in the background as well.

When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. You can figure out the next Amtrak passenger train with this handy link: https://bit.ly/2M4bFLF

There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.
