Doc's Caboose Railcam over West Bottoms

Freight Action at Doc's Caboose

This immersive live webcam sits atop Doc's Caboose, a beloved model railroad hobby shop, facing west over Union Pacific's Kansas City Metro Sub — the former Missouri Pacific Railroad main line.

The Historic West Bottoms

Stretching between downtown and the Kansas River, the West Bottoms is one of Kansas City's oldest industrial districts, where sprawling warehouses and century-old brick facades line a web of railroad tracks.

America's Rail Crossroads

Kansas City ranks among the busiest rail hubs in the United States, and this freight-only corridor near the famous Santa Fe Junction delivers a steady parade of trains in real time.

What You Will See

Look for Union Pacific intermodal stacks, manifest freights and unit grain trains threading past signals and switches, with the district's industrial skyline rising beyond the yard.
