I never knew that to have a stream with focus on trains as our background thing would be something. But it is! There is a railway organization in USA that have many streams across the country, with this being no exception.
Many loves the stream from Ashland in USA
In this stream, you can chat and discuss with other people that likes trains. Here people just waits for a CSX or Amtrak train to arrive. Some are longer, while other are very long. At the most, some told me that there was a cargo train with more than 135 wagons. That’s pretty crazy!
At the moment its around 240 that is watching the very same stream. Also! If you goto the YouTube channel itself then you can switch between two cameras.
