One of the most frustrating aspects of this camera is when you just catch the rear of a train.  It needs another camera facing in the opposite direction!

 

Brian.

If you have the live train tracker on screen as well you can see when a train is about to come past, if you have the sound on you can hear the exhaust for a few seconds before it appears.

PS anybody know why the train tracker was taken off the webcam page?

It was going slowly due to following a stopper.

Interesting

 

when I first spotted it, it was down beyond Coryton by the Parsons tunnel 

 

actually stopped, & there was no train in front, even in Dawlish station or right up to Redrock by Dawlish Warren

 

after it had passed my, I was by Marine parade right beside the track I could hear the rails  humming

 

but it was NOT the usual thrub/singing

 

it was a very electronic sounding, changing,   "Song"

And here's another view of the same train arriving at Newton Abbot for the run round. It was rather late, as the loco had been sitting in the bay platform at Newton Abbot station for 3 hours this morning, waiting for a road tanker to turn up with some fuel, no idea why the tanker was late.

At 14.06 today the live web cam shows the borer exiting stage right

 

just about an hour after low tide

 

but the sea is rough

 

so are they taking it to safety

 

before the high tide?

 

I just wonder wether it will fit between the wall & the station overhang uprights

 

& go off under the viaduct

 

or perhaps along the beach once its past the Old Lifeboat house

 

but then the slipway by the viaduct is very uneven

 

I am sure the Security guy will tell me
