PREVIEW CAMERA

Virtual Railfan’s LIVE train cameras at Quanah, Texas, are mounted on the historic Railway Express building, capturing the dynamic BNSF Red River Valley Subdivision at milepost 192. Hosted by the City of Quanah and sponsored by John White and Wyatt Conley, the cameras include a PTZ camera (movement based on operator availability) and a static camera, offering views of the mainline, a wye connecting to the Chickasha Subdivision branch to Altus, Oklahoma, and a yard handling local traffic, unit trains of grain and rock, and weekly storage movements. 

The corridor sees a robust mix of BNSF intermodal traffic terminating at the nearby Alliance Intermodal Facility, coal trains bound for south Texas and Louisiana, and daily freights carrying oil, chemicals, grain, and rock. Foreign power, including Ferromex, Norfolk Southern, and Kansas City Southern (KCS) units, adds variety. The Quanah, Acme, and Pacific Depot once stood across the street to the east, and Tower 27 was located at the west end of the wye, enriching the area’s rail heritage. These cameras offer railfans a prime view of one of BNSF’s diverse and busy rail hubs.
