Abstract: A viewing system for trains that makes real time visual information in the form of images or video of the vicinity of the end of a train available to a locomotive operator or distant user. The system gathers images or video of the vicinity of the end of a train and transmits and displays the images or video to a remote display on a locomotive or at a remote location off the train. The invention also records the images or video such that the images or video can be recalled and used at a later time.
