Remote yard monitoring in Harrisburg

Local and live

Where I-81, I-83 and the Turnpike meet

Harrisburg sits where Interstate 81, Interstate 83, Interstate 283 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike (Interstate 76) come together, a junction that has made the capital a distribution centre for the wider mid-Atlantic. Just across the Susquehanna River in East Pennsboro Township sits Enola Yard, built in 1905 and once the world's largest freight yard; as of 2005 it still handled about 275,000 tons of freight a day over 79 tracks. The region's warehouse base, built up along those highways, totalled 114.5 million square feet by the end of 2025, with a vacancy level of 6.3 percent and more than 55 industrial leases signed that year.

That much freight moving through Dauphin County draws thieves. Pennsylvania State Police said that in the early hours of August 3, 2025, someone stole a truck tractor and a cargo container loaded with cleaning products worth about $400,000 from a lot in West Hanover Township, just northeast of Harrisburg. For a yard along the I-81 or I-83 corridors, the exposure is the same kind of target: a loaded trailer parked overnight with nobody watching it.

An agent is always watching a Harrisburg-area yard: live video from every camera, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When AI detection flags someone moving after the gate closes for the night, the agent checks the footage, gives a live, instant talk-down through the site's speakers, and brings in police and your own contacts. Drivers who are expected get through just as fast: Gate Operations checks them against your pickup lists before the agent opens the gate remotely, logging the time and an image of every entry and exit.
