Try looking for a railway web camera the covers this train route. Here is
one site that lists some rail web cams:

http://www.railroaddata.com/rrlinks/Webcams/

You can try an Internet search using +webcam +"Your railway name"

My wife loves these RR web cams, but be aware that they are not infrared, so
at night time one only sees lights! Some locations have overhead lighting,
some do not. You MIGHT be able to save some screen images too.

Good luck.
