Swansea Railcam & Gardiner Tracker

A Living Transit Corridor

This camera frames one of Toronto's most active transportation arteries, where the Lakeshore West rail line runs parallel to the elevated Gardiner Expressway. Commuter GO Transit trains, intercity VIA Rail services and long freight consists thread through the frame in a near-constant procession.

The Swansea Vantage

Perched above the leafy Swansea neighbourhood in Old Toronto, the view balances dense urban tree cover with the steel ribbons of the rail right-of-way. The wooded ravine setting gives the cam a distinctly green character despite its heavy infrastructure subject.

Skyline on the Horizon

In the distance the downtown Toronto skyline anchors the scene, with the unmistakable CN Tower and surrounding towers visible above the treeline — a reminder of the major Canadian metropolis just beyond.

For Railfans & City-Watchers

A 24/7 favourite for railfanning, the feed rewards patient viewers with a steady mix of passenger and freight movements alongside the rhythm of expressway traffic, capturing the layered energy of a working city corridor.
