CSX & Amtrak Trackside Rail Cam
OnlineThis trackside railfan camera holds a fixed northbound view of Milepost 662.8 on the CSX Cincinnati Terminal Subdivision in Covington, Kentucky, just south of the Ohio River. Watch a steady procession of CSX freight—manifests, coal, and steel—roll past, joined three times weekly by Amtrak's Cardinal between Chicago and Washington. The historic Cathedral Basilica and downtown skyline frame every passing train.

A Prime Trainspotting Vantage
Trained on Milepost 662.8 of the CSX Cincinnati Terminal Subdivision, this fixed north-facing feed captures one of the busiest rail corridors in the region, little more than a mile from the Ohio River and the Cincinnati riverfront.
What Rolls Through
Expect a constant flow of CSX freight—manifest consists, loaded coal drags, and steel trains—while Amtrak's Cardinal threads the same rails three times a week on its long run between Chicago and Washington, D.C.
The Covington Backdrop
Beyond the tracks, the elegant spires of the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption rise above the Covington rooftops, giving every train a distinctive urban stage of brick warehouses and church towers.
