Olympia-Lacey Amtrak Station - Washington, USA

Camera bySteel Highway Railcams↗

Just outside Lacey, near Washington's capital, Olympia, this camera looks along the platform of Centennial Station, where Amtrak Cascades and Coast Starlight trains stop and BNSF and Union Pacific freights rumble through.


The station opened on October 28, 1990, and it was built by a nonprofit group of local volunteers, the Amtrak Depot Committee, who raised about $500,000 through grants, donations and the sale of engraved bricks.


Volunteers still look after it, and it's believed to be the only Amtrak station in the country both built and run entirely by volunteers. Around 14 Amtrak trains stop here every day, and the board at the top of the screen shows what's due next.


Did You Know? The volunteers had hoped to open the station in time for Washington's state centennial in 1989, but it opened a year later.
