re-aimed and zoomed in

The infamous web-cam at the mighty Curve had been re-aimed and zoomed in on the signal-bridge.
I don’t know if this is good or bad.
Before it was zoomed out so far it was also getting the roof of the housing — although better aiming might have avoided the housing.
When I first got it (last February), it was zoomed out, but aimed so that it swallowed all the way down to Track-Snacks — but avoided the housing-roof.
A while ago the users could drive it; and Jack-and-I thought this was great. We would aim it first at the signal-bridge, and thereafter the camera could be re-aimed to supposedly follow a train around the Curve.
Except this never worked: re-aiming was so slow the train always got ahead.
Finally the minions in Altoony got tired of GrandPop spinning the camera madly, and aiming at the retention-ponds, so they dumped the user-control.
Soon after the camera was getting the housing-roof.
Finally someone has corrected that, but zoomed it in on the signal-bridge.
Nice, but all ya ever see of a train is at the signal-bridge.

I wanted to add a web-cam screen-shot of this, but A) OS-X does it as a pdf, which would take hours to rastorize into Photoshop, so........
B) I switched back to 9.2, where screen-shots are apparently not pdfs, but there my Netscape spins-and-spins, and apparently won’t get the web-cam — at least not in the five minutes I have.
I may go to the bathroom and let the OS-X file rastorize; but if it still ain’t finished I’m shutting off. I don’t have all day, and after-all I supplied a link to that there web-cam.

The “mighty-Curve” is Horseshoe Curve National Historic site near Altoona, Pa. (This is an old picture.) It was part of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s crossing of the Alleghenies. It was opened in 1854 and is still used. It is by far the best railfanning site on the entire planet. Wait 20 minutes and a train appears — and going uphill they are wide-open; assaulting the heavens. The viewing-area is in the apex of the curve right near the tracks.
