I can't get Folkston but the others I've tried have been fine.  Severe weather was forecast today so that may be a factor.

Greencastle, PA seemed to be working normally tonight, but I didn't see many trains.

Any know if there are any good railroad webcams (intentional or unintentional) in Philadelphia, or North Jersey areas.    Looking for spots with freight service...which means basically somewhere  the alphabet route.  Bound Brook, or somewhere between Cranford and NK in north jersey wud prob be the busiest area.   West trenton and just south of there would be pretty good...   North Philly-Frankford Jct gets a little bit of freight. 

The  CSX (B&O) main from washington cross the NEC...at one of the worst areas  in south phila, and  zero good photographic angles.

Should keep in mind. Many of the VRF and other Cameras right now.
May start to have issues, due to software or other issues. 

They ma not be able to fix the cameras right now.
Because the Corona virus situation. 

Unless these cameras are essential needs or what else.

They may not be repaired anytime soon. As many cameras might be on City property or someplace.
Where they may not be able to get access to the location. To make the repairs needed

The internet infrastructure is being tested by high usage. A lot of people are home on the Internet either working remotely or watching Netflix.
I’ve noticed a slowdown in service at home. A lot of these cameras are in out of the way places that may not have the best internet service to begin with.

I am guessing, its whats the local internet provider is able to handle.
Many of these cameras fed with the local service providers.
