You might wish to view the other Trains dot com forum’s thread about the Roanoke Rail Cam. It is 89 pages long, so you probably don’t want to start at page one and read it all right now, so here is a link to page 89.
http://cs.trains.com/trn/f/111/t/154777.aspx?sort=ASC&pi332=89
Most of the 89 pages are comments about the cam not working and then working again, and comments about events that were happening at the time of the posting, which are kind of meaningless now, so it can be lots of useless reading, but you might, as time permits, browse through all 89 pages to catch some of the photos that have been posted and other comments about the area (it gets boring between trains and people get to looking at “other” things and have questions about them!).
Maybe TrainGirl101 can get some answers to those “other things” or tell us more about goings-on in the area? (hope, hope!) [:)]
