Salt Lake City, Utah – Grant Tower Train Junction (Fixed South View)

Virtual Railfan's LIVE train cameras at Salt Lake City, Utah, are mounted on the Utah Arts Alliance campus, capturing a wide variety of rail traffic at the intersection of three Union Pacific Subdivisions and the Utah Transit Authority FrontRunner corridor. Hosted by the Utah Arts Alliance, the cameras include a PTZ camera (movement based on operator availability) and a static camera, offering views of the Grant Tower Interlocking and passing traffic on the connecting Salt Lake, Lynndyl, and Provo Subdivisions. The junction sees a robust mix of UP manifest traffic to and from Roper Yard in Salt Lake City, BNSF run-through intermodal and manifest freights, daily Utah Railway locals, Amtrak's California Zephyr, and Utah Transit Authority FrontRunner commuter trains. Foreign power occasionally makes surprise appearances, including Canadian National, Norfolk Southern, CPKC, and CSX, adding variety. Reconstructed in the early 2000s, Grant Tower was a major junction for the Denver & Rio Grande Western, Western Pacific & Union Pacific trains of yesteryear.

This fixed south-view camera offers railfans and train enthusiasts a consistent perspective on one of the busiest rail intersections in the Western United States. With the dramatic Wasatch Mountains framing the scene and Salt Lake City's skyline in the distance, viewers can watch freight and passenger trains operate through this critical junction where multiple railroad subdivisions converge, making it an ideal vantage point for tracking diverse rail traffic throughout the day.
