Tennessee River Railroad Bridge Cam

A Premier Railfanning Vantage

This live view overlooks one of the South's busiest rail corridors, where the CSX Chattanooga Subdivision carries both CSX and Norfolk Southern traffic running between Chattanooga, Tennessee and Sheffield, Alabama. The camera points railroad-south toward Chattanooga, giving trainspotters a long, unobstructed sightline down the mainline.

The Historic Tennessee River Crossing

The trains span the wide Tennessee River on a sweeping steel bridge that has anchored this crossing for generations. Just beside the active span stands the 1896 deck truss bridge that served the railroad for 101 years before being retired and donated to the City of Bridgeport, which converted it into a scenic walking bridge.

What You Will See

Expect a steady parade of heavy freight: mixed manifests, intermodal stacks, and unit trains gliding over the water. Between movements, the tree-lined riverbanks and rolling hills around Bridgeport, Alabama make a tranquil backdrop for this beloved railfan window.
