Big Sandy, Texas – Union Pacific Train Junction

Virtual Railfan's live train cameras at Big Sandy, Texas, overlook the junction of Union Pacific's Pine Bluff, Corsicana, and Mineola Subdivisions. The former St. Louis Southwestern runs north-south as the Pine Bluff Sub north (and then east) to Texarkana via Pittsburg and Mount Pleasant, and as the Corsicana Sub southwest to Corsicana via Tyler. The former Texas & Pacific runs east-west as the Mineola Sub, hosting Amtrak's Texas Eagle between Dallas and Texarkana via Mineola, Longview, Marshall, and Jefferson. Hosted by the City of Big Sandy, this feed captures a mix of freight and passenger action.

The Pine Bluff Sub is one-directional (westbound), the Corsicana Sub is mostly westbound except for locals from Mineola or Tyler, and the Mineola Sub is bi-directional. Big Sandy is a crew change point and lies between Texas Eagle stops at Mineola and Longview. Expect around 32 trains daily, including intermodals, autoracks, manifests, and the Texas Eagle (1 per direction).

This PTZ camera offers dynamic, operator-controlled views of one of North Texas's busiest rail junctions, where freight trains and Amtrak's daily passenger service converge. Watch Union Pacific's diverse traffic mix navigate the three subdivisions throughout the day, with the added bonus of crew changes and yard activity at this strategic interchange point.
