RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted December 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 4, 2012 Haven't looked for a while, but there seems to be fewer shunters there now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted December 4, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 4, 2012 Olten very busy this morning. http://pittsburgh.et....ch/TC/Cam0���� The camera is still only halfway back to it's original position but does give a close-up of the middle platform. A lovely close up of an Re6/6 on a freight and a pair of BLS Re4/4s on a long freight. Do you regulars on here prefer if I started an Olten thread? I like to look at both! Can't look away for a moment ..all action today! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerrySVR Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I think there is already an OLTEN thread but since camera angle changed not as much interest as before, pity it isn't back to its original position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right...it was me that started it...! http://www.rmweb.co....220#entry866220 I've now resurrected it. The camera is halfway back to it's original position now. Still quite interesting with close-ups. Let's hope that the owners do the job properly. Today it's non-stop action. In the time that it takes to do a 'print screen' two more trains have passed! What is useful is the timetables and train formations that are there with the camera images. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Looks like a Loran railgrinder? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Re6/6 Posted December 6, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 6, 2012 Any idea what the dirty yellowish loco is in foreground of web cam? Looks like a railgrinder or maybe a tamper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorcycle Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 there's currently enough snow reflecting the light, that the night-vision hasn't turned itself on! Rare nighttime view of Plattling now live! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 Very nice it looks too, second shot the snow is really coming down and a very lengthy push-pull train is leaving. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 A freight has just pulled up, a shunter is busy on the right and you can just make out three track workers. They've been sweeping the switches clear of snow. I love the 24 hour business of Plattling, it reminds me of being a child lying in bed and hearing trains shunting in the night. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 more snow, and a lengthy grain train... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Looks as though the railgrinder might be on its way finally... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gerbil-Fritters Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) The Loran is back after a night working somewhere. A coal train is speeding through the platforms. If the grain silo ever closes, it would make a great hotel! and the big bo-bo switcher seems to be working a lot lately. Bigger trains? The bad weather?

admiles Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) they've knocked the old signal cabin down this morning.... Just seen this too. Replaced by the grey Portacabin style building on the right that sprung up a few month ago maybe? Shame!

llamafish Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 It's not the only thing to go by the weekend. It seems the cam, along with all of their others has been taken down, apparently a complaint has been made over privacy issues. No-one has complained about it in at least 4 years...why now?!

motorcycle Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 the upper half of Plattling webcam still works for me, although it doesn't refresh. Where did you here it had been taken down? I can't understand why anyone would complain about it, are people supposed to close their eyes when they look out of the window?! Hope it comes back, I love Plattling webcam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie_pudd Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I finding alot of the net is slow today, site and cam seems to work for afew seconds ut then freezes half pic out or goes blank.

Mike at C&M Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 There are problems with all the cameras on the webcam.deg.net site. As yet, there are no postings from the website host on the feedback page, just fellow watchers of all the webcams wondering what has happened to their favourite viewing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
