Prescott Rail Webcam in WI
Enjoy watching this live PTZ Prescott Rail and Lift Bridge webcam stream of the BNSF St. Croix Subdivision in Wisconsin , United States . Streaming live from Scabs Place, you get a clear view of the area and the vital transportation link spanning the St. Croix River, connecting Prescott, Wisconsin, to Hastings, Minnesota . This bridge facilitates freight rail traffic operated by the BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe) Railway, ensuring the smooth movement of goods and materials across the region. The bridge's vertical lift design raises the central span to accommodate river traffic, including barges and boats, facilitating the smooth flow of both rail and waterborne transportation. On the other hand, the Prescott Drawbridge, also called the Point Douglas Bascule Bridge, as seen on the live feed, is located nearby in Wisconsin, also crossing the St. Croix River . The Point Douglas Bridge, unlike the lift bridge, is a bascule bridge with a movable span that allows river traffic to pass underneath. Both bridges play significant roles in the region's transportation infrastructure, allowing goods and people to move across the river. The BNSF St. Croix Subdivision is part of a broader network of railroads that connect the Midwest to other regions of the United States, contributing to the efficient transportation of goods and supporting economic growth and development.
