European rail (station) webcams

I always enjoy a good look at Plattling Station webcam in southern Germany. A fine time waster! Any ideas out there for others. I'm particularly interested in Swiss. Austrian and German sites. I've had a trawl around but haven'y been able to find anything. Plenty listed on Google etc but the sites all seem to be adverts to sell holidays, tickets and other stuff that I don't want!

 

A list on here might be an useful resource. It could also include ones here at home (if there are any!)

http://www.railcam.nl and then click on camera 1

 

Not a station, but the level crossing just east of Mierlo-Hout station, between Eindhoven and Venlo, in Holland. This is a livestream, so not stills, such as on the Plattling webcam.

 

Unfortunately, freight traffic has fallen away recently with the opening of the new freight route to Emmerich, from Rotterdam. But if you get bored, you can always watch the traffic lights change!

I've just come across this website:

 

http://www.railserve.com/RailCams/

 

The top part of the page consists of links to North American rail webcams.

 

Further down the page are links to web cams on railways around the world, many in Europe.

 

I hope this hasn't been posted before, I've not been able to find a reference to it on RM Web

I don't see it, just an advert for CTI security!

 

EDIT - it needed some weird browser plug-ins to make it work, now working OK!

If you click on the 'double' sign you get cameras 1 and 2 which shows the trains in both directions. 'multi' has a third shot of the railway plus some other weird shots of no interest to us.

Now working with Kubuntu + Firefox, I don't know what's changed.

Olten station is so busy! Does it just have Swiss locomotives on freight trains? If so what types please?

 

You're not kidding. I watched it between 1130-1345 swiss time today and saw 24 freights, 2 light engines and the Am843 shunt in and out twice (1144 + 1244). It seems to be busier for freight between xx30-xx00 each hour as there appears to be less passenger trains in this period.

 

Freight types seen so far include:

SBB Re4/4, Re6/6, Ae6/6(red one), class 482 and a cargosprinter MPV unit.

BLS Re4/4(brownies), class 465 and 485.

DB Traxx(class 185)

Crossrail Traxx(class 185/186) and Re4/4.

 

Passenger trains:

Most are class 460 with some Re4/4 and a class 450 Zurich s-bahn set does appear on a few workings. ICN services are in the hands of class 500 units.

DB class 401 work ICE services and ex-Cisalpino ETR610 also work through.

Local services are worked by class 560 Colibri and various Flirt units.

 

Think that's everything. It's good to see plenty of postal trains!

Thanks very much for the information. I've yet to see a postal train, what are they hauled by and what coaches are they please?

 

*edit* it's not as easy as Plattling to take screengrabs. But I just saw this go through

Am I right in thinking that the locomotive is this one?

Also it's so funny seeing all the trucks on the wagons on the freight trains!

 

*edit*#2. In the 30 minutes since I posted this, I've seen 12 freight trains!
