    These links give information of where timetabled freight should be (the grey info is freight). It doesn't account for live information if the freight is early/late or cancelled but it should give some useful information. The kbs number is the train line reference which you can change to get a different area. These are the lines that serve Plattling

    It works quite well. For example there is a car train in Plattling right now (the live map shows nothing in Plattling, but one recently has left). You type the dgs number (the freight identifier in google/flickr) and look for a train with similar wagons. So the car train in Plattling right now is the Gyor (Hungary) to Bremen freight.

    Can't find it on the archive, but the new Beethoven Vectron must have visited Plattling on the 13th to collect the slurry tankers to Slovenija. Here it is in Austria.

    It's a gorgeous lokomotive. You can see a better look at the livery here

    I've seen this white container train a lot on the archive but never have seen it live. However on the archive today it shows the white containers go toward the top-left of the webcam (on the way to Landshut). Does anyone know what these wagons are please? If they come from the West of Regensburg, then why do they run-around in Plattling? Does this mean they go to Dingolfing (inbetween Plattling and Landshut)? Thanks

    I saw this train come in 'live' on the webcam and it was hauled by one of the shunters and there was a man on the back on the last wagon. So it must come from the Plattling paper factory / Plattling sugar factory or Deggendorf Port. It can't have come from Vilshofen as that is too far for one of the men to stand on the back of the wagon for so long. The white vans have writing on them but I can't make out what it says. It only arrives in Platting on a Monday at around 11:15 (German time).

    *edit* on Google Maps, it looks like the same white vans are found at Plattling Sugar Factory

    Does anyone know if the web cam at Olten is likely to be moved to its previous, much better, position in the near future?

    I would doubt it. It hasn't been in the good position for 4 (?) years now, but then why does the owner bother keeping it going if it isn't going to be moved back one day as the current position won't get many website visitors.

    EDIT just seen you've changed your post from 'French loco' to 'Vectron' - you were right first time.

     

    I read what I wrote after posting it and thought I must have been an idiot for thinking it was the French loco! So changed it!

    Sometimes there are rare locomotives (for Plattling) that go up the branch line to Deggendorf Port (where the little green DMUs go). On Sunday & Monday (3rd & 4th of April) there was a train from Erfurt-Bischleben.

    You can see better views from a flickr user taken at Deggendorf Port

    Also in the flickr information it is described as "DGS 90968". I assume this is the German version of our codes for freight trains like 6X12 for example. How do German people find this information out? Is the a German version of realtimetrains or freightmaster that they use? I remember there was a website that had some timetable for Plattling freight, http://www.cargonautus.de/Passau.htm but that hasn't been updated in a long time.

    For all class 66 fans, there is going to be a poster featuring all the 159 different liveries of the class from the U.K. mainland Europe and Africa for sale next week.

    I bought the 2 other posters this company for the foreign Taurus and Traxx locomotives and they were both excellent. This company also make the http://www.railcolor.netand http://www.mainlinediesels.net websites.
