St. Louis, Missouri – MacArthur Bridge & Lesperance Yard (East PTZ)

Virtual Railfan's LIVE train cameras at Red Bird Carriers in St. Louis, Missouri, provide outstanding dual PTZ views overlooking the historic MacArthur Bridge across the Mississippi River. The West PTZ Camera showcases the Gateway Arch and the approach to Union Pacific's active Lesperance Yard, where transfer, staging, and switching operations keep traffic moving throughout the day. Watch TRRA EMD Geep locomotives push heavy freight up the bridge's steep grade while approximately 30 daily Union Pacific trains traverse one of the Midwest's most important freight corridors. Amtrak passenger trains navigating the Poplar Street Wye beneath the Arch add even more variety to the action.

This East PTZ view captures the constant flow of freight and passenger traffic crossing the MacArthur Bridge, one of the busiest and most historic rail corridors in North America. From heavy manifest freight to Amtrak's City of New Orleans, the vantage overlooks critical rail operations where locomotives tackle steep grades while the iconic Gateway Arch frames the background—a compelling blend of industrial activity and urban landmark.
