Boulder Creek Rail Yard

This is a cross post from siliconvalleylines.com (link to be posted soon) For the last few years SVL has been running hybrid ops where we have remote operators and in layout room operators. The remote operators get a engineers view of the track using our CabCam Project . This allows our remote engineers to participate and run through trains or trains with light switching with the help of a local brakeman. We are accomplishing this using modified JMRI WebThrottle code and some fancy memory variables that will be explained below. 1. Install the WebThrottle JS and CSS files. Download the webThrottle.css file and the appropriate webThrottle.js file for your install of JMRI. The file labeled webThrottle 426.js is for JMRI versions 4.22-4.26. webThrottle 5+.js is for JMRI 5.0 and up, it works as recently as 5.1.3. These files will be placed in your JMRI install folder. This is different for various operating systems but you wan to look for /JMRI/web/js and /JMRI/web/css respectively. Place...

  CSX 1776, the Pride in Service unit is spotted in Boulder Creek after being an emergency lease to Union Pacific. A rare west coast sighting.

Update: these instructions are out of date, see the more recent cross post about UV4L The SVL CabCam Project – Silicon Valley Lines  The above link is a project I started with my club to allow us to do some remote ops. So far the project isn't finished and our write up needs a few more stages done.  As they are done I will post them here.
