Richville Rail Crossing Live Cam

A Classic Small-Town Rail Crossing

This camera frames the diamond crossing at Richville, a modest rural intersection where a country road and a single-track main line share the same patch of open Minnesota prairie. The CPKC Detroit Lakes Subdivision threads through the scene at roughly milepost 186.

The view captures through freight traffic of the Canadian Pacific Kansas City network as it rolls across the flat farmland of Otter Tail County. Trackside signals and the lone weathered grade-crossing approach anchor a timeless railfanning perspective.

Beyond the rails, broad grassy verges, scattered utility poles and a fringe of woodland define the peaceful rural backdrop. It is a genuine window onto everyday railroading in the heart of west-central Minnesota.
