Thank you very much for the link to the Caltrans Highway webcams in California! Currently The Caltrans webcams that I know of that show rail action are as follows. The Caltrans Floriston webcam is only listed this EXCELLENT website focused on Donner Pass. The Floriston webcam is listed in the TOP RIGHT hand corner:
Floriston (Donner Pass), CHILES road (Sacramento list) and Applegate(Tahoe List--Donner Pass). The most ACTIVE Caltrans webcam should be the CHILES road west facing view of the Sacramento to Davis former SP "Cal-P" line now UP. This old SP "Cal-P" line gets ALL of the Amtrak Capitol Corridor plus the long distance California Zephyr and Coast Starlight Amtrak trains. This is in addition to almost all of the Sacramento to Oakland freight trains operated by Union Pacific. The BNSF does operate some double stack trains on this Cal P line to and from the Port of Oakland via Sac (Elvas)--Stockton--enroute Bakersfield and Tehachapi.
Here is another webcam that I just found about from another forum. This is located in Manassas Virginia on the east coast of the United States. This is a truly LIVE view which is my favorite kind of webcam:

Click on the below link then go to the Tahoe area & select the 80 & Applegate camera & the tracks on your left. I would guess the elevation maybe around 2,000' at this location
