What you are looking at
Virtual Railfan, a company that streams live train cameras across North America, runs this fixed camera at the Amtrak station in Ashland, Virginia, about 16 miles north of Richmond. The view looks south along CSX's North End Subdivision, a line first built by the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad in the 1830s, which runs right through the middle of the small town.
Virtual Railfan says the line sees about 20 freight trains a day, including intermodal container trains, coal trains and mixed freight, plus about 20 Amtrak passenger trains, among them Northeast Regional trains and some long-distance services. Ashland's historic station, built in 1923, serves as a busy passenger stop. Trains pass close to the station and the town's streets, so you will see people, cars and the downtown setting as well as locomotives. At night the station lights and train headlights make for a different scene.
The stream plays as live video on YouTube. Ashland is on Eastern time. A practical tip: the Ashland train log kept by volunteer viewers and Amtrak's train locator can help you predict when the next passenger train will appear on screen.
