Fairport Railfan Camera West

A Front-Row Seat to a Busy Rail Corridor

This camera at the Fairport Train Viewing Platform looks west toward Rochester, framing the convergence of CSX's Rochester and West Shore Subdivisions. The platform sits at mile post 361.240, where more than forty trains a day pass through the heart of the village.

Freight and Passenger Action

Viewers can catch CSX freight consists, four daily Amtrak Empire Service trains, occasional Canadian National trains and rare BNSF movements. The dual mainline keeps the scene constantly changing as trains roll between Rochester and Syracuse.

A Historic Erie Canal Village

Fairport grew up around the Erie Canal, and its compact downtown still carries that nineteenth-century charm. The rail line threading the village places this camera at the intersection of transportation history and everyday railroading.
