Whiting, Indiana Live Railcam at Hammond-Whiting Station
About this camera
This railcam looks over the Hammond-Whiting Amtrak station in Whiting, Indiana, a small lakeside city in the industrial heart of northwest Indiana, just southeast of Chicago.
Few places in North America see more trains than this corner of Indiana. From closest to farthest, the camera shows Norfolk Southern's Chicago Line at milepost 507.07 and CSX's Barr Subdivision at milepost 5.16, along with other lines in the background. All these routes funnel freight into and out of Chicago, the nation's largest rail hub, so intermodal containers, autoracks, tank cars and coal trains roll past throughout the day and night. Amtrak's long-distance trains between Chicago and the East Coast also stop here.
Whiting is home to the large BP refinery on Lake Michigan and is known for Pierogi Fest, a quirky summer festival that celebrates the city's Eastern European heritage.
The best viewing is during daylight, but the steady traffic means there is something to see at almost any hour. Winter lake-effect snow can turn the scene into a wintry railroad spectacle.
