Cozad Railcam & Grain Elevators

Trackside Trainspotting

The camera is trained on the railroad mainline running through Cozad, offering a clear trackside view of freight trains as they pass. Viewers can catch grain hoppers, intermodal stacks, mixed manifest consists, and the occasional light-power move.

Grain Elevators of the Plains

Dominating the backdrop is a complex of grain elevators and storage silos, a defining landmark of agricultural Nebraska. These towering structures handle the corn and soybean harvest of Dawson County and feed the rail cars that haul it to market.

The Platte Valley Corridor

Cozad sits along the historic Platte River Valley, a natural transportation route followed by pioneers, highways, and one of the country's principal transcontinental rail lines. The steady procession of trains reflects the corridor's role in moving freight across middle America.
