I just ran across this on another site and thought some of you  :ashat: s might appreciate this:

Trainbot watches a piece of train track, detects passing trains, and stitches together images of them. Should work with any video4linux USB cam, or Raspberry Pi camera v3 modules. Software available on github.

Let me look into it. The current railcam died last fall: http://www.railfancentralia.com . I have a Raspberry cam module somewhere in the clutter and maybe a spare Pi4, so l'll take a look at Jim's link and see what it takes. I'm sure there's a PoE for the Pi, which it will need.

Glad to see the interest. It's beyond my paygrade, but I figured it would be in your guys' wheelhouse. Anyone care to speculate about a model application ...
