O-Train Station Cams in Ottawa

These two railway cams being streamed from the city of Ottawa in Canada will give any train fanatic a fix they didn’t even know they’d been craving. As far as train live feeds go, it really doesn’t get much better than these. Stay with the feed and not only will you be licking your pencil point to make a note of the train number as it whizzes by, on occasion, you’ll be able to join the driver in the cab. Getting to see the tracks from the operator’s point of view is enlightening and exciting so make sure to stick around for that view. You’ll be glad you did.

Both Bayview Station and Cyrville Station are on the O-Train Line 1. They’re just two of the thirteen stations dotted along the twelve and a half kilometres of urban, standard gauge track. It’s a busy line that’s been in operation since September 2019 carrying commuters from one end of the capital city to the other. Unlike some other railway cams, you won’t need to wait very long to see a train pass by. The services on this line are pretty nonstop. Think every five minutes during peak hours, every fifteen minutes off-peak and only a few hours short break in the early hours of the morning. Make sure to have a pencil sharpener to hand, you’ll probably need it.

If statistics are what rocks your proverbial boat then you’ll love these. With a journey capacity of three-hundred per each individual train service, the line is capable, and does, transport almost seventy-five thousand folks a day. If you want to know the annual passenger statistics on the O-Train Line 1, times that by three-hundred and sixty five and you’ll reach an estimated figure that’s close to twenty-eight million. If statistics really aren’t your thing then skip reading this last paragraph and just watch the trains going by instead.
