Phoenixville Norfolk Southern Railfan Cam

The Norfolk Southern Harrisburg Line

This camera overlooks one of the busiest freight corridors in southeastern Pennsylvania. The Harrisburg Line links the Philadelphia area with the major classification yards to the west, and the curve here gives an unobstructed view of trains as they negotiate the bend.

A classic railfanning vantage

The double-track main line, ballast, and signal hardware are framed against a wall of lush trees, a setting prized by the railfan community. Live scanner audio of the Norfolk Southern frequencies, including nearby Abrams Yard, lets viewers anticipate movements before they appear.

Phoenixville and the Schuylkill Valley

The borough of Phoenixville sits along the Schuylkill River in Chester County, a former industrial town reborn as a lively destination. The rail line threading its outskirts is a reminder of the region's deep railroading heritage.
