About this camera

This live railcam from Colorado Railcams watches the tracks in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The channel encourages viewers to check out its host's website and stop by when in town.

Colorado Springs lies on the Joint Line, a busy north–south rail corridor along the Front Range shared by BNSF Railway and Union Pacific between Denver and Pueblo. It carries long coal trains, manifest freights and other traffic heading between the Rocky Mountain region and Texas and the Gulf. The tracks run close to downtown, beneath the backdrop of Pikes Peak.

What to watch for

  • BNSF and Union Pacific freight trains
  • Long coal and mixed freight trains
  • Mountain weather along the Front Range

Traffic runs at all hours, so trains can appear day or night. The Front Range climate brings sunny days, sudden afternoon thunderstorms in summer and occasional heavy snow in winter and spring. Colorado Springs has a long railroad history, founded by General William Jackson Palmer, the builder of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. The stream is provided by Colorado Railcams.
