Boone, Iowa Live Railcam with Radio Audio – Cam 2 East

About this camera

Boone, Iowa, is one of the best-known railroad towns in the Midwest, and this Trains On Demand livestream puts you trackside on the Union Pacific main line. Cam 2 faces east and is paired with live railroad radio audio, so you can hear dispatchers and crews as trains roll through.

The camera's own audio is disabled to keep the radio traffic clear. The view also takes in the connection track to the Boone and Scenic Valley Railroad, a heritage railroad that operates excursion trains in the Des Moines River valley.

Boone is home to the Kate Shelley High Bridge, a towering railroad viaduct over the Des Moines River west of town, named after a teenage girl who became a hero for warning a train of a washed-out bridge in 1881. The town's railroad heritage is still celebrated today.

With frequent Union Pacific freight trains, there is always something to watch. Livestream provided by Trains On Demand.
