Spokane, Washington Live Railcam
About this camera
Spokane is the largest city in eastern Washington and an important railroad crossroads, and this Virtual Railfan camera gives a live look at the city's busy rail traffic.
Spokane has been a rail hub since the late 1800s. Lines from the Pacific Northwest converge here before heading east across the northern Rockies, which means a constant flow of BNSF and Union Pacific freight, including grain trains from the Palouse, intermodal containers bound for the Midwest, and long mixed freights. Amtrak's Empire Builder also calls at Spokane, where the train from Chicago splits into sections for Seattle and Portland, usually in the middle of the night.
The camera package includes a fixed view looking east and a pan-tilt-zoom camera, with some views reserved for Virtual Railfan members. Whichever view is on, you can expect to see trains at all hours, along with the changing seasons of the Inland Northwest: hot, dry summers and snowy winters.
Spokane itself is known for Riverfront Park and the Spokane Falls, right in the middle of downtown, and for being the host city of Expo '74, the first environmentally themed world's fair.
