Virtual Railfan's live train cameras in Waupaca, Wisconsin, are hosted by the Waupaca Historical Society at the historic depot, a 28 x 70 foot sandstone building at 525 Oak St. Overlooking the Canadian National's Neenah Subdivision—a key segment of CN's mainline from the Twin Ports of Duluth, MN, and Superior, WI, to Chicago, IL, and an extremely important modern route for freight—these cameras capture 25-30 daily trains, including through-freights at speeds up to 60 MPH and a daily local switching coke cars at the Waupaca Foundry in the mid-afternoon. The PTZ camera moves based on operator availability, while the fixed camera faces east towards Neenah. Waupaca, known for the scenic Chain O' Lakes, is a tourist destination with a rich rail history. The depot, owned by the Waupaca Historical Society, features railroad artifacts, a G Scale model railroad, and is open for tours and event rentals.
This pan-tilt-zoom camera captures live freight operations on one of North America's busiest freight corridors. Watch CN mainline traffic, local switching operations, and preserved railroad equipment on the historic Waupaca depot grounds—an ideal vantage point for serious railfans and casual train enthusiasts alike.
