Salt Lake City, Utah – Grant Tower Rail Junction (PTZ)

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.

Watch one of North America's busiest rail intersections with dramatic views of the Wasatch Mountains as a backdrop. This PTZ camera captures everything from heavy freight consists to passenger trains, with the urban landscape of Salt Lake City framing the action. Whether you're a railfan tracking specific carriers or simply enjoy the blend of industrial activity and mountain scenery, this is essential viewing.
