Frequently asked questions
The process of getting a train cam setup is pretty easy and starts with a site inspection. A representative from Virtual Railfan will come to your location to take pictures, video and take measurements of the location in order to determine the equipment that will be needed. Once the site inspection is complete we will place the equipment order. Once we receive the equipment we will work with you to schedule a date for installation.
