Bahn TV

Here's a really neat web site:
http://www.bahntv-online.de/
(This is the broadband TV site of the Deutsche Bahn AG.)
Note: left-click on the word "Live" in the top left hand corner and then double left-click on the video for full screen view.

Yes, it's all in German, but you can translate the web site by pasting the web link above into the "Translate a web page" box on this web page --
http://world.altavista.com/
Then select "German to English" and push the "Translate" button.


They offer a mix of programming, but very often (in the evening in US, while most of Germany is sleeping) they show long periods of video from the cab of various DB trains.

In particular, here's a nice 1 hour documentary on the opening of the new high speed service from Frankfurt am Main to/from Paris:

(In German... but the video is great to watch.)

Great link , Ben , thanks very much .

Not only that, but they have also Video on Demand service, i.e. you can search in their archive and find almost everything from the last 4-5 years
