Spring City Railroad Live Cam

What You'll See

This PTZ railroad webcam overlooks the CNO&TP South District at milepost 283.2 in Spring City, Tennessee. The camera can pan and zoom across the double-track mainline, capturing Norfolk Southern freight trains as they wind through the rolling countryside of the Tennessee River Valley, with grade-crossing signals, a wayside industrial park and stands of hardwood trees framing the scene.

About the CNO&TP South District

The Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific Railway (CNO&TP) is a historic Norfolk Southern route linking Cincinnati, Ohio with Chattanooga, Tennessee, long known among railfans as the "Rathole Division." Its South District threads through the Cumberland Plateau and the Tennessee River corridor near Watts Bar Lake, carrying a steady mix of manifest, intermodal and unit trains between the Midwest and the Deep South.
