San Juan Capistrano, California, is located in Orange County, and is located on Metrolink's Orange Subdivision, the former Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway (AT&SF) line between their mainline at Fullerton and San Diego.
The station sees about 24 Amtraks (Pacific Surfliner) and 16 Metrolinks (Inland Empire & Orange County lines) each weekday.
About 4 BNSF freight trains run overnight from Barstow, CA, to San Diego. They do not pass through Fullerton, as they must use the Olive Sub 5 miles east, at Atwood Junction.
The station was built in 1894 by the Santa Fe, in their typical Mission Style.
This is a designated quiet zone (QZ), but crews can use the horns at their discretion anytime. The crossing seen in camera view is no longer a street, and is now pedestrian-only.
There is an ATCS layout, but with little to no data (server) coverage.
The camera is a 360, providing full range of motion when an operator is present.
When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. You can figure out the next Amtrak passenger train with this handy, link: bit.ly/2qoI2ul

There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.
