Johnstown Railfan Cam – West View

A premier railfanning location

This camera looks west along one of the busiest stretches of Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line, the historic former Pennsylvania Railroad mainline. Hosted by the Johnstown Area Heritage Association, the fixed vantage point captures the relentless rhythm of through traffic on this key Appalachian corridor.

What you will see

Expect a steady parade of intermodal and freight trains hauling across the multi-track mainline, plus Amtrak's twice-daily Pennsylvanian stopping at the nearby historic station. The angle frames the tracks against an industrial yard and the surrounding hills.

The setting

Set in the Conemaugh valley, the scene blends working railroad infrastructure with the rugged wooded ridges that define this corner of the Alleghenies, giving every passing train a distinctly scenic backdrop.
