Introducing the New Camera Dashboard!
|
|
It's finally here! We heard you loud and clear - you wanted to set up your cameras the way that YOU like to watch them, but more importantly, to save them so they'd be available next time you log in. With the new Cam Dashboard, you can create, save and delete up to 10 different layouts! For the folks who like to scroll through the locations looking for train action, we've also added an easy-to-use playlist.
30-DAY VIDEO ARCHIVE NOW AVAILABLE!
The calendar icon at the top of every player allows you to choose a date and time to find the trains you missed! You can rewind up to 1 1/2 hours from the current time, but you're only a click away from accessing anything earlier that day or even 30 days previous.
All of these new features will be available to members through the end of the year. After that, our Standard Membership will include 3 saved layouts, a more limited video archive, and advertisements. But you'll be able to add any of these back to your membership ala carte, so you can continue to customize your Virtual Railfan experience to suit your preferences.

We've added 5 new locations since the last newsletter! Welcome Galesburg, Big Sandy, Parkville, Fairport and Quanah! Still hoping for more by the end of the year, stay tuned.
The Ashland PTZ got a fabulous upgrade, courtesy of moderator Don Root. He loves Ashland, Virginia, so much he moved there in August from San Diego! The clarity and night time viewing is spectacular, check it out!
Upgrades in the works: Horseshoe Curve, Flagstaff and Fort Worth.
Fort Madison, Iowa, is one of our most popular locations yet, averaging between 500-1000 views at any given moment since its launch at the end of June. We added a static camera so there's no chance of missing any action, and boy, is there a lot of that! Steady BNSF, a local line, swing bridge and barges.
Princeton, Indiana, has returned! After covid delays and missed service calls, we now have new and improved internet service.
