Rail Cam bonanza -- European train fix

For anyone who needs a European train fix -- the link below is for a 26-minute compilation from one day (June of this year) from a live streaming Web cam in a small town in the southeast of the Netherlands.

Though the electrified double-track main line shown by the camera is usually moderately busy with Dutch local and long-distance EMU trains -- and an occasional freight or long-distance passenger train, this day the line saw a huge volume of detour traffic because the normal main rail connection between the Netherlands and Germany was closed due to construction work.

This compilation includes not only a large number of intermodal trains, but both German and Dutch ICE trains and even an Amsterdam-Vienna sleeper train.

Motive power for the freights includes multi-system electric locomotives from Germany and other countries. Container traffic is, of course, to and from the port of Rotterdam, one of the busiest container ports in the world.

Enjoy.
