The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center downtown hosts and railcam that features the NS mainline east of the large classification yard.  Most north-south and east-west traffic (except movements that go exclusively through the former Virginian Rwy South Yard such as coal and some grain movements) pass through the area.  During peak traffic times, as many as 60-80 moves a day can be viewed on the camera.  The camera faces railroad west and is located beneath a foot bridge connecting the hotel to the Wachovia Tower in the heart of the City of Roanoke.  The signal you can see is 'North Jefferson" with Commerce St to the west and Randolph St, 65 Crossover and East Leg Wye / Williamson Rd to the east.  Click on the link above to access the camera in real-time.
