Chehalis North Train Camera

A Pacific Northwest Rail Hub

Chehalis sits roughly halfway between Portland and Seattle on BNSF's Seattle Subdivision, one of the busiest north-south corridors in the region. The camera looks north along the mainline, framing the tracks, sidings and the surrounding railyard where movements are near-constant.

Freight, Intermodal and Passenger Action

Expect a rich mix of traffic: BNSF manifest and intermodal trains, Union Pacific services on trackage rights, grain, oil, coal and auto trains, plus Amtrak Cascades and Coast Starlight passenger runs. Dozens of movements pass through this active stretch.

What Railfans Watch For

Beyond the trains, viewers track distinctive locomotive liveries, double-stacked containers, signal aspects and the steady rhythm of a working mainline. It is a rewarding vantage point for spotting both freight and passenger rail across the scenic Pacific Northwest.
