  • Info: Live streaming train webcam at Fort Madison in Iowa, United States. The Fort Madison train station was originally built by the Sante Fe Railroad, opening in 1910. It has been fully restored over the past 14 years.


More info: Fort Madison was established as a military post in 1808 and the town became a major rail hub in the late 19th century when the Santa Fe Railway constructed a bridge over the Mississippi River. The bridge opened to rail traffic in December 1887 and Fort Madison subsequently became a major rail center in southeastern Iowa. It was replaced in 1927 with the current Fort Madison Toll Bridge, considered the longest double-deck swing-span bridge in the world. Amtrak’s Southwest Chief crosses it on the way to and from the station two miles to the west.
