Watch Live Trains in Lafayette

Lafayette, Indiana Live Train Camera (PTZ) offers a real-time view of rail activity on CSX's Monon Subdivision and Norfolk Southern's Lafayette District. This live webcam captures up to 24 daily trains, including freight trains from Norfolk Southern and CSX, as well as Amtrak's Cardinal service three times a week. The PTZ camera is hosted by Rail and Road Auctions and provides a dynamic perspective on one of Indiana's busiest rail corridors.

CSX and Norfolk Southern Operations

This live stream showcases the intersection of two major railroads: CSX's Monon Subdivision, formerly the Monon Railroad, and Norfolk Southern's Lafayette District, originally the Wabash Railroad. Viewers can watch approximately 20 Norfolk Southern freight trains and 4 CSX freight trains pass through daily. The camera also captures the 20 MPH speed limit zone near the CSX terminal area, adding to the operational interest.

Amtrak Cardinal Service

Amtrak's Cardinal, running between Chicago and Washington, D.C., stops at the Lafayette Amtrak station (code LAF) three times per week. Although the station is out of camera view to the south, the live webcam may capture the train as it passes through the junction. This adds a passenger rail element to the predominantly freight-focused stream.

Nearby Rail Infrastructure

Out of view, the CSX Lafayette Terminal lies to the north, and Norfolk Southern's Lafayette East Yard is to the east. A junction with the Kankakee, Beaverville & Southern Railroad (former Nickel Plate Road) runs west, while Norfolk Southern's Frankfort Branch extends east. This complex network makes the Lafayette area a fascinating location for rail enthusiasts watching live online.
