This is a live picture taken every fifteen minutes by the camera
in the cab of the SBB re460 MySwitzerland.com. It sends a
picture update to the computer source every 15 minutes. The
delay is approximately five minutes. Of course this provided
only if there is power connected. If it is in for service, you
won't get many pictures until it is back out on the tracks.
To the left: The camera can be seen on the
left-hand side in the front
windshield. The engineer sits next to it.
So, both of them have the approximate same
view.
To the right: Up close a better view of the
camera which can be clearly seen in the
front windshield. Also clearly
noticeable in this picture is that direction
of travel can be either way. It still takes
pictures.
To the left: The camera system which
takes the images on the
MySwitzerland.com re460 as it makes its
way through Switzerland.
To the right: This is the view of the
engineer. The camera is located on the
right-hand side of his position in the cab.
To the left: Of course on its way
through Switzerland it changes driving
directions frequently. Therefore it can
happen that all pictures are kind of the
same for an extended period of time.
To the right: This is one of the many
possibilities: to be coupled against a car.
The camera is facing the passenger car.
Direction of travel is unknown. The
MySwitzerland.com locomotive is primarily
used for passenger service.
To the left: Then again another
possibility could be to be coupled
against an engine. The camera is facing
the engine in this picture. Once again
direction of travel here is unknown.

locomotive took. please visit
