I have found only one good live Railway Station webcam so far.It is located in Japan and operated by a telephone carrier.With this live cam I am able to view and hear trains both arriving and departing.
There are two platforms where passengers are seen getting off and rushing to their trains.In the background you can hear Japanese train announcers.
Does anyone here know where I might find more cams on this order wordwide?I have viewed similar cams on the net but they don’t even come close to the Japanese cam.Those that are live only refresh every so often.Not very exciting.
This is what I have found:

Thanks for your list.Some were interesting.It’s just a shame how hard it is to find Rail Station platform cams.I can somewhat understand the difficulty here stateside where passenger service hasn’t been the railroads main focus since the 1950’s.
But foreign countries like Germany,United Kingdom and Japan rely heavily on passenger rail service.There should be an abundance of platform webcams available considering technological advances in this day and age.
Thanks again
Michael
BTW: I almost forgot here’s link to that Japan cam I mentioned.

Well considering view count and no replies nobody is interested in these kind of webcams.Pity.
