Main Street Donuts CPKC Railcam

The CPKC Mainline at Ottumwa

This live webcam overlooks a broad, gently curving segment of the Canadian Pacific Kansas City mainline beside Main Street Donuts. The single ballasted track sweeps through a leafy tree-lined corridor where east–west freights pass within a few hundred feet of the camera.

A Busy Midwest Rail Corridor

The line through Ottumwa forms part of a vital transcontinental route linking Chicago and the Pacific Northwest with Kansas City and the Gulf. Mixed-freight, intermodal, and grain consists move along this storied railroad throughout the day.

What You'll See

Expect long manifest freights, locomotive lash-ups, and the occasional maintenance-of-way movement gliding past the tranquil wooded backdrop. The wide framing captures each train as it rounds the curve toward downtown.
