Flagstaff, Arizona Live Railcam – BNSF Southern Transcon
About this camera
Virtual Railfan's camera in Flagstaff, Arizona, offers a front-row seat to one of the busiest railroad main lines in the United States. BNSF Railway's Southern Transcon, which links Los Angeles with Chicago, runs right through downtown Flagstaff, carrying a seemingly endless parade of intermodal and freight trains.
Flagstaff sits at about 7,000 feet in the pine forests of northern Arizona, at the foot of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountains in the state. The city grew up as a railroad and lumber town, and its historic downtown along Route 66 still sits right beside the tracks. Amtrak's Southwest Chief stops at the historic Flagstaff depot, which also serves as the city's visitor centre.

Flagstaff was the world's first International Dark Sky City, and Lowell Observatory, where Pluto was discovered, sits on a hill above town. Snowy winters, clear mountain air and sunsets over the pines make this camera a favourite in every season.
