Hi Guys,
I thought the following may be of interest to your members and the USA 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.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/railpage/
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:
http://www.youtube.com/user/railpage
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:
http://kkvcam1.omni.com.au
The location of the webcam is illustrated here:

I hope you guys enjoy the project.
