Cincinnati Union Terminal Railyard

A Landmark Built for Rail

Opened in 1933 as Cincinnati Union Terminal, this Art Deco masterpiece once handled dozens of passenger trains a day and is now home to the Cincinnati Museum Center. The camera's North View looks out from the club office at the heart of the complex, over rail-level tracks that fan out toward the yard.

Constant Freight Activity

The tracks below carry a steady flow of heavy freight, manifest trains, and local industrial switching, giving viewers an ever-changing procession of motive power and rolling stock moving through one of the Midwest's most iconic rail hubs.

Listen Along

A companion live scanner audio feed lets viewers tune into the radio traffic of yard crews and dispatchers, adding a real-time soundtrack to the switching moves happening on screen.

A Community Preservation Effort

The feed is maintained by the Cincinnati Railroad Club, whose members keep the cameras trained on the rails as a tribute to the operations once run from the terminal's original Tower A, preserving a living view of the city's railroad heritage.
