If you haven't seen the Horseshoe Curve webcam lately, it looks pretty nice after the recent snow.

What is the access to the webcam at Horseshoe Curve?
If you have trouble with the link, try googling Virtual Railfan, look for the Horseshoe Curve image. If clicking on that gives you a bad message, look for a second image below and that seems to work.

I watch the Curve webcam all the time-the best. Right now the VR cams are down,falling snow gives them trouble, I guess. I get good info off the chat bout the Lurgan branch which is a half mile away.
Thanks Tom,snow looks great,as long as it stays south of us.....
I agree Joe!

Jim,
It's back up and working as a train of mostly double-stacks and empties is passing by.

didn't know you had a Way Back Machine Tom.......
Dave, OK...it took me 2 minutes to get that one. I fixed the title to show 2019! Thanks.

Just watched a double headed NS container train go past heading east. Pretty cool how the camera follows the locos around the curve. Still snowing there too. 
Thanks for posting this Tom.

Nice!
I finished my beer before the last car..…..
Thank you! 
well I imagine you were too busy polishing all those Prewar Switchers........
Been watching on and off this afternoon, and the most impressive thing I saw was a westbound train consisting of mostly tank cars being led by 5 locomotives and pushed by another two...
The amount of reflective placards really show at night on the intermodal trains... would be nice to get something like that into our models...
Just as I hit send above, the PRR Heritage Unit (NS 8102) just led a intermodal train westbound...
Good day virtual train watching...
Ha, I was watching this morning since I'm not feeling well enough to shovel the 6-10" that we got. At that time it only looked like a couple inches on the ground at The Curve.
LOL! Have to admit; I'm addicted to the Curve!

Seems like the Horseshoe Curve webcam nerds are out in force today... now I’m going to have to check out the webcam in daytime. Like I’m retired and I’ve got nothing better to do... wait a minute
This is way cool!
I should have a link playing in the train room next time.

Same here in Fredericksburg, I looked at it this mornig and started cusing, however I calmed down and sent the wife to shovel it.
