Newport River Sub Railway Tracks

A Working Freight Mainline

This camera overlooks the CPKC River Subdivision near milepost 402.5, a heavily traveled double-track artery linking the Twin Cities with the rail network to the south. Lumbering intermodal, grain, and manifest freights share the corridor with the parallel BNSF line.

Trackside in Newport

Set on the edge of Newport, the view frames the rails as they thread between verdant trackside woodland and the Mississippi River valley. The wide curve offers a generous sightline of approaching motive power.

A Railfan Favorite

Maintained by Steel Highway Railcams, this feed is a rewarding spot for dedicated railfans tracking the steady procession of CPKC and BNSF traffic on one of the region's most active railroad lines.
