Australian Railway Webcam Access - Railpage

[bevans]

Hi Guys,

I thought the following may be of interest to your members and the UK railfan community.

Railpage Australia (http://www.railpage.com.au) has established a railcam site on a very busy freight main line in and out of Melbourne.

There are a number of cameras providing feeds of the rail traffic which includes:

1. Inbound and outbound freight (intermodal and other traffic) access to Melbourne's terminals including:

Port of Melbourne
North Dynon Terminal
Melbourne freight Terminal
South Dynon Terminal
Melbourne Yard and MOT

2. Interstate Standard Gauge traffic for passenger services which includes:

Melbourne to Adelaide "Overland" service 3 times per week
Melbourne to Sydney "XPT" service 4 times per day

3. All freight on SG west of Melbourne terminals passes by the cameras

The project provides a real time updated photostream on flickr for camera #2 which is a IR capable unit.

This photostream is updated each time a train passes the cameras. Images are taken and sent to flickr as motion is detected.

video from camera #2 is sent to youtube. This is available at:

Tags for the video content are "bunbury street" and railpage

A regularily updated "live" picture of the tracks and trains is available via camera #1 at:

The location of the webcam is illustrated here:

I hope you guys enjoy the project.

It was up as i watched it the other day but appears to be taken down for some reason

wow, they're advertising Railpage here, so the bickering and squabbling can go at an international level?

So who placed the cameras at those locations? Or are they already existing cameras just someone has hacked into it?

There is currently a technical issue with the telecommunications service which connects the cameras to the internet. These issues are planned to be resolved by the end of this week.
