Marshall Texas Train Webcam – Union Pacific by the Depot

The Marshall Texas Train Webcam looks over the tracks beside the 1912 Texas and Pacific depot in Marshall, the Harrison County seat in East Texas. The main camera faces a single track that curves in under a road bridge and runs across the frame, with a yellow Union Pacific caboose and the front of a steam locomotive on display at the left. A tall, weathered old building rises above the trees behind the bridge, and cars sit in a parking lot on the right. Union Pacific freights, BNSF trains running on trackage rights and Amtrak’s Texas Eagle all use the line here, and the stream carries the local railroad radio channels alongside the picture. A second camera, in the next tab, follows a double-track curve past the station platform and a wooded bank.

About the Marshall Depot and Its Railroads

SouthWest RailCams runs both cameras, and the Marshall Texas Depot hosts them at 800 North Washington Avenue. The platform camera went live in February 2025 and the depot grounds camera in October 2025. They cover Union Pacific’s Little Rock and Reisor subdivisions, and the timetable keeps speeds low through town: 48 km/h (30 mph) for passenger and freight trains on the Little Rock line and 64 km/h (40 mph) for freight on the Reisor line. Amtrak’s westbound Texas Eagle is train 21 and the eastbound run is train 22.

The Texas and Pacific Railway opened the depot on October 20, 1912, as a passenger station and the headquarters of its eastern district. The Mission Revival building is the only surviving structure of the railroad’s Marshall shops complex, which once had 57 buildings on 27 hectares (66 acres). A city incentive, accepted by T&P president Jay Gould, had brought those shops and the railroad’s general offices to Marshall, and the shops ran until the 1960s. Union Pacific, which owns the property, filed for a demolition permit in 1988, the community stepped in, and the depot was restored during the 1990s. It is now a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and Amtrak has stopped here since March 13, 1974. The station counted 14,482 passengers in fiscal year 2025.

The equipment in the main view belongs to the depot’s Texas and Pacific Railway Museum. T&P No. 400 is a 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotive built in 1915, moved onto the depot grounds in 2008, and its cab can be reached by stairs. The caboose beside it is a Union Pacific car. Marshall itself was founded in 1841, had 23,392 residents in the 2020 census and sits at about 104 meters (341 feet), roughly 64 kilometers (40 miles) west of Shreveport, Louisiana. The Boogie Woogie banner on the bridge points to a newer claim: in 2010 the city council declared Marshall the Birthplace of Boogie Woogie, and a Texas historical marker followed in 2018.

About 600 meters (0.4 miles) south, the Michelson Museum of Art is at 216 North Bolivar Street, and the Starr Family Home State Historic Site is at 407 West Travis Street.

Downtown, the Old Harrison County Courthouse on Whetstone Square is where students staged the first sit-ins in Texas, in its rotunda during the 1960s. Marshall calls itself the Pottery Capital of the World, after Marshall Pottery, founded in 1895, and its Wonderland of Lights festival is billed as one of the largest light festivals in the United States. For a day outdoors, Caddo Lake State Park lies about 23 kilometers (14 miles) northeast of the depot in a straight line.
