Glendale Railroad Crossing is located in the village of Glendale, Ohio. The crossing sits in a quiet residential area and is equipped with automatic gates, flashing lights, and warning bells to manage regular train movements. Freight trains operated by CSX pass through daily, along with Amtrak's Cardinal passenger service several times per week. With roughly 30 trains a day and moderate speeds, the crossing offers clear, easy-to-follow train action. Glendale is designated as a 24-hour quiet zone, so trains typically pass without sounding their horns.
The webcam overlooks CSX's Cincinnati Terminal Subdivision, the historic former Baltimore & Ohio main line built by the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton Railroad in 1850–1851. Hosted by the Glendale Trackside Pub, the camera captures trains passing through a classic small-town grade crossing. The camera provides a close-up look at both local freight operations and long-distance passenger service in a charming Midwestern village setting. With regular activity and clear visibility, it's a favorite spot for railfans and casual viewers alike.
