About This Webcam
Everything you need to know about this live stream
A Three-Way Railroad Junction
The camera overlooks the crossroads where Union Pacific's Pine Bluff, Corsicana, and Mineola Subdivisions meet. The former St. Louis Southwestern runs north-south, while the former Texas & Pacific crosses east to west, giving trains from several directions a single stage to share.
The Trains You'll See
Big Sandy is a crew-change point handling roughly 32 trains a day. Expect intermodals, autoracks, and manifest freights, plus Amtrak's Texas Eagle passing once in each direction between Dallas and Texarkana.
Railroading Heritage
These tracks trace historic lines — the old Cotton Belt route and the Texas & Pacific — that shaped rail travel across East Texas. The junction remains a genuinely busy artery for modern freight.
About the Camera
This is a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) feed from Virtual Railfan, hosted by the City of Big Sandy. Operators pan and zoom to follow the action, so the view shifts with the trains across the junction.
