Texarkana Railroad Trainspotting PTZ

A Border Town on the Rails

Texarkana sits directly on the Arkansas–Texas state line, and this steerable PTZ camera is mounted at the Historic 1894 Market, overlooking the busy double-track corridor shared by Union Pacific and Kansas City Southern.

Two Storied Railroads, One Crossing

The view spans the former Missouri Pacific and St. Louis Southwestern (Cotton Belt) main lines alongside KCS's Shreveport Subdivision, a corridor that carries a steady mix of unit and intermodal freight.

Amtrak and the Coffee Car

Amtrak's Texas Eagle calls at the adjacent station, while trackside visitors can grab a brew at Alley Cats Coffee Bar, housed inside a restored Santa Fe club-lounge-dorm car built by Pullman-Standard.

A Camera the Community Steers

Operated by Virtual Railfan, the PTZ lens can be panned and zoomed by viewers in chat, giving railfans a hands-on window onto one of the busiest rail junctions in the region.
