Westfield, MA Live Railcam – Pilgrim Candle Factory View

Enjoy the view from high up in the Pilgrim Candle factory in Westfield, Massachusetts. This railcam, part of the Boston and Maine Live network, looks down on the tracks running through this western Massachusetts city, offering railfans a great vantage point for watching trains roll through town.

Westfield sits in the Pioneer Valley, west of Springfield, and has long been a railroad town. It is known as the Whip City, because in its heyday it was the leading manufacturer of buggy whips in the world. Today the city is home to Westfield State University and a mix of industry, neighbourhoods and green hills along the Westfield River.

Why watch this railcam

• An elevated view of freight trains passing through Westfield
• A chance to spot a mix of locomotives and rolling stock
• Changing New England seasons, from snowy winters to colourful autumn foliage

Train traffic varies through the day, so it pays to keep the stream running in the background and listen for horns. Autumn is a particularly beautiful time to watch, when the surrounding hills turn red and gold.
