Is there something wrong with it? It has been two hours since anything has shown.#29 was 37 minutes late out of Cumberland and has not shown on the cam.Last image was 6:48PM 9-10-09.

Looks like it's working this morning. BTW, a really interesting consist went through at 7:52 am westbound this morning.

Mighty strange that nothing shows from 6:48PM,9-10-09 to 07:03.9-11-09.

Not really strange at all. It was dark for that time period and night movements usually do not show up.

Also, 2 hour lulls on this line are not unusual - even before the economic downturn.

I don't think the camera picks up *everything* - I noticed during the longer days of the summer months, 29 didn't always show up - even though it was mostly on time and there was still plenty of light out. And, if I recall correctly, it even missed 30 - always a daylight train - once or twice.

Another factor to consider is that after each recording, the camera needs some 'recycle' time. So if two trains run close to each other -- possible especially if there's a meet somewhere near Hyndman -- the system will miss the second one.
