failroadtracks.com Salt Lake City webcam

1.No, "Failroadtracks" is not a typo

2.Yet another webcam with sound! Here is the link:www.failroadtracks.com. And, below the cam, which is at the very top, there are multiple videos, hilarious videos, showing why the website is called "failroadtracks". A lesson: slow down when you cross railroad tracks. The primary carrier at this crossing is Union Pacific, although two Amtrak California Zephyrs come by a day. Unfortunately, this crossing is in a quiet zone(trains can't blow their horns, because the people who live there can't deal with it). Just one more thing, the sound on the cam is a bit off, for example, when the third car of a slow train just passes the cam, you can hear the locomotives go past the cam. The bells at this crossing are quiet, however, you can hear them quite well still.

Enjoy!

Georgia Webcam

Yes, another webcam with a crossing in it.
http://www.virtualrailfan.com/

This camera is set in Folkston, GA. But, this cam has stricter restrictions. Chrome, Firefox, and Safari(there may be more) are the only browsers that will work with this. INTERNET EXPLORER DOES NOT WORK ON THIS! I don't know whether or not Mac works on this, although I do know that Iphone, Ipod touch, and Ipad don't work on this. There is not sound on this, although the welcome message says that there will be soon. Look at the top of the page. You will see a link that says "train list". Open that up to see what trains they know will come through there. There are no stupid commercials on here! Yes! You can compare the Fostoria, OH one and this one. They both have their negatives and positives. Questions? Comments? Leave a comment!
