Shin-Osaka Webcam

Some interesting things bright and early this morning. Lots of track inspection on the new line to the east. This is the line that'll run through to the 'Osaka East Loop Line'. I wonder if it's being commissioned?

 

Both an employee with a torch and a small track-vehicle/hi-rail were traversing the lines.

 

 

And then, not that you can really see it, a freight train passed east (you can see it's headlights in the bottom-right) and as it did so, the little track worker had his torch waving left-to-right to indicate track clear.

 

 

Then he did another inspection run and shone it straight into the camera... do they know we're watching!? :)

Lots of light engines today!

The author of the Youtube stream seems to be dealing with faulty components. Pretty funny 'diary' of issues in the description of the feed.

Meanwhile, it's back today after about a week of being down... it was a sad week... let me tell you that!

The new feed has a great angle and great colour.

 

Here's a cute little DD51 from this morning.

 

 

 

And it looks like an EH500 needed some servicing in Kawasaki? (Or maybe a transfer through to Moji where it's brothers and sisters are.)

I am really hoping to see at least one DD51 pass Shin-Osaka this time around...
