(rshsdepot) Railcams
Many of you have stayed, like I have, at the Holiday Inn in Cumberland, MD.
Just outside this multi-story hotel pass the busy B&O mainline tracks to
Sand Patch grade and Seventeen Mile grade. Camera toting railfans asking for
a room facing the CSX tracks has rarely elicited even the slightest
hesitation from desk clerks. But the management of the Holiday Inn did not
market itself as a "railfan hotel."
Now that has changed.
The Holiday Inn, in a tradition perhaps started by the Izaak Walton Inn in
MT, but certainly expanded upon the Station Inn in Cresson, PA, has begun to
advertise its railfanning attributes in national railfan publications. And
in the spirit of "a picture is worth a thousand words" has installed a
webcam on its rooftop pointed towards the tracks.

Note that most of the railcams are at depot locations.
