Press Box Railcam, Fond du Lac

A Working Mainline in Fond du Lac

This camera overlooks a genuine working junction on Canadian National's Waukesha Subdivision, framing the grade crossing at 251 Forest Avenue. The view captures both the main line nearest the lens and the second AgriLand Spur track that branches off toward the County Visions cooperative.

Trains, Helpers and Byron Hill

Trains moving left to right run northbound toward the North Fond du Lac Shops Yard, while those heading right to left run southbound toward Byron Hill and on to Waukesha. The grade often demands extra helper power, so light helper sets are a frequent and rewarding sight on this stretch.

What Railfans Can Spot

Beyond Canadian National freight, the line also hosts the Wisconsin & Southern Eden Spur Local. With its open angle over the crossing, the road and the residential backdrop, the feed offers a constant flow of railroad activity for enthusiasts watching from anywhere.
