New Cameras Open OKC's Rail Lines To The World

OKLAHOMA CITY - Two new video cameras recently installed in Oklahoma City is gaining fast favor amongst the world's railfans.

The cameras, located north of Uptown alongside Interstate 235, stream a 24/7 view of rail freight travelling between OKC and Kansas.

The cameras are owned by the Virtual Railfan company and sponsored by the Oklahoma Model Railroad Association and Museum, and allow viewers from across the world to watch the city's rail action, either via Virtual Railfan's website or Youtube channel or via the Museum's site.

The rails are part of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) network and allow freight from Texas and the south to access BNSF's main transcontinental network at Wichita. The lines also carry local cargo to/from the city's own intermodal rail yard.

A message on the Association's website explained the stream, "Our camera feed is the BNSF Red Rock Subdivision that runs right by the Museum going to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. You’ll also find Norfolk Southern, Ferromex, Union Pacific, KCS, CSX and Canadian Pacific trains on the line. Approximately 20-40 trains a day come through."

Beginning with just four cameras in 2014, Virtual Railfan has quickly become a premier rail experience streaming destination., operating 95 cameras across both the US and Europe.

The Model Railroad Association and Museum is a center for model railroad enthusiasts of all ages. Located at 4300 N. Sewell, between Santa Fe Avenue and I-235. Currently the Museum is open weekends only.

Railfans can view the OKC stream via Virtual Railfan's website at https://virtualrailfan.com/, via the Museums's website at https://www.omratrains.org/, or via VR's Youtube page at
