Thanks, I'm aware, I'll look into that next monday.

Hallo Mike, ich verwende eine Lupus Electronics LE221. Dazu ein Intel NUC mit Ubuntu und ffmpeg um den Stream dann an CZcams zu senden; dabei muss ffmpeg den kaputten Audio-Stream der Kamera entfernen und durch einen stummen Stream ersetzen, und den Stream einmal pro Stunde neu starten, sonst bricht CZcams irgendwann den Stream ab. Wenn dich da Details interessieren müsste ich mal die systemd-Unit mit dem ffmpeg-Befehl raus suchen, habe auf das System gerade keinen Zugriff.

@@davidgubler7698 hallo david! Lieben dank für die schnelle Antwort und das Angebot... Würde mich tatsächlich sehr interessieren. Ich hab einige wildtierkamera projekte vor, aber alles was ich bisher probiert habe läuft nicht so wirklich rund ...

@@NatureMike Ich habe hier mal alles nieder geschrieben, was ich dazu berichten kann: bahnbilder.ch/div/railcam.txt

@@davidgubler7698 wow!!! das ist superlieb!!!! ganz herzlichen Dank!!!!

Diamond crossings are a source of intense maintenance. The gaps in the rails enable the ends of the rail to wear, which in turn causes the gaps to become more severe. The jolt of locomotives and cars going across causes wear on that equipment as well. The crossing track for the cane railroad has very light railway equipment, and so much less wear on this type of crossing. Since the mainline railroad has no rail gaps, there is no wear and tear on its track nor on its equipment.

@@DavidCurrey4 All true. But also, the use of the bridge instead of a diamond eliminates the 40 KPH (25 MPH) speed restriction allowing passenger trains to maintain track speed. Farther north, where trains aren't as frequent, standard diamonds are still in use and have been renewed in kind rather than with this more expensive setup. They are, however, flange bearing diamonds which reduce the rail end batter and maintenance issues you mention.

It lifts smoothly enough; I think it's designed so that the left-hand side has to be down before the right-hand side, and so its pausing in its descent.

Or it’s a single hydraulic circuit and one side is just stiffer than the other.

yeh thats a diamond crossing we have one of those in the bottom yard at millaquin mill for the transloader and the river line

Those are the most common solution, but they are impractical for several reasons. The main reason is there have to be gaps in all four rails for the flanges of the wheels of the other direction to pass. Those gaps take a serious beating when trains roll over them. They're loud, require a lot of maintenance, and trains must slow down for them.

It allows the seasonal sugarcane trains to cross the government mainline track. It's got a request signal operation where the sugartrain crew have to contact the mainline railway controller and request the drawbridge to be operated by them. The mainline controller won't operate the draawbridge if there is a mainine train due or nearby. This system works very well and is very well controlled.

Diamond crossings are a source of intense maintenance. The gaps in the rails enable the ends of the rail to wear, which in turn causes the gaps to become more severe. Because of the gaps in the rail, much more steel is required to stabilize the track. There is a larger chance for broken rail in a diamond crossing, which can cause derailments and much more damage than the cost of the crossing. The jolt of locomotives and cars going across causes wear on the equipment as well. The crossing track for the cane railroad has very light railway equipment, and so much less wear on this type of crossing. Since the mainline railroad has no rail gaps, there is no wear and tear on its track nor on its equipment. This type of crossing saves money, lessens maintenance, and is safer.

yeah IF they don't malfunction... lots of plane crashes couldve been avoided after mechanical failure the warninglights also did
