The Strasberg Railroad is a shortline that runs commercial freight and heritage steam passenger services and has a VRF camera at both ends of the line. 

 

The Strasburg Railroad is the oldest railroad in the US still operating under its original name and charter.  The second oldest is the Union Pacific.

Actually I am sure I read somewhere that the current Union Pacific is not technically the original. Something about the merger with Southern Pacific where the latter legal entity remained but then itself re branded to UP.
