Mike at C&M Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I have 2 webcams that I am regularly viewing, each fascinating in their own right. For those with a railway interest, I offer this gem: http://webcam04.deg.net/cgi-bin/guestimage.html The station is Plattling, down in the south-east corner of Germany on the mainline between Nuernberg and Passau (and then into Austria). If you wish to see how a large station and goods yard operate, watch this for a while! The most trains seen running at the same time is 5! And for those of you who like something more topical: http://eldgos.mila.is/eyjafjallajokull-fra-hvolsvelli/ Assuming it is not cloudy, this is fascinating to watch. Britain is several hundred miles off to the right of this view. Any further submissions welcome. Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

admiles Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 This is a area of Germany I know quite well having family near Passau so very interesting for me. Great find and thanks for sharing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 I only watched for 10mins but saw two freights passing through, two local trains departing, the shunter being stabled for the night in the yard and another freight being marshalled.

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted June 2, 2010 RMweb Gold Share Posted June 2, 2010 There's loads around the world but I like New York, so Times Square is one of my favourites: Times Square webcam Again in the US here's one at Rochelle Illinois where the UP and BNSF tracks cross on the level. Quite busy, you get to see some US superpower on this one (you do have to register for this, it's free): Rochelle webcam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike at C&M Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 I could pass the buck on to someone else about the Plattling webcam, it wasn't a find by me, but someone recommended it to me with wording along the lines of "hope you don't intend to do any work today!" The Times Square webcam is good, but where's Wally? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Yes that Plattling webcam is really interesting; probably too interesting.... Just been on for 10 minutes; at 20.00 (European time) six of the seven platforms were occupied, including a couple of ICE trains. Eight minutes later all the trains had departed; a true junction interchange. Helps to have the Thos Cook European Timetable to hand.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burkitt Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 http://www.railcam.nl/ This one from the Netherlands is very good, though the first time I watched it I was a bit annoyed to find most of the trains that passed were hauled by class 66s!

Try the DB online train reporting system: http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/bhftafel.exe/dn?ld=9684&country=DEU&rt=1& should get you there. Now if we could only peek at the freight train equivalent...! Andy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Phil Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Thanks for posting the Plattling link. Just had a brief reminder of how proper railways are operated. The most amazing thing of all is that this is under the OLE !!! So much neater and tidier than the way we used to do things with our "knitting".
