La Grange MKT Depot, Texas Live Cam

This camera stands at the old M-K-T depot in La Grange, Texas, and looks down a single Union Pacific track toward a street crossing. A yellow caboose and the depot roof fill the right foreground, with a parking lot and shade trees on the left.

The M-K-T name stands for Missouri-Kansas-Texas, the "Katy" railroad, and the depot at 260 North Washington Street now houses a local history museum. The track here is the Union Pacific Smithville Subdivision at milepost 88.4, which carries Union Pacific and BNSF trains under trackage rights.

The camera shifts slightly in pan and zoom during the day, so the line sometimes runs straight down the middle and sometimes leans toward the lane on the left. The caboose roof and the small cream-colored commercial building at the far end of the street stay recognizable in every view.
