Recommended Computer Vision package: OpenCV: http://opencv.willowgarage.com/

Webcam feed from train station in Germany: http://webcam.deg.net/?a=showcam&w=showliveimage&o=pla

URL of image snapshot: http://webcam.deg.net/content/current.php?id=04[&counter=1333202741244]

I believe the 'counter' part is optional and is used to avoid browser caching

bash script for downloading a set of consecutive images:

` I=0 while test $I -lt 300; do wget "http://webcam.deg.net/content/current.php?id=04" -O seq-$I.jpg & sleep 2; I=$(($I+1)); done `

With this I captured a stretch of 10 minutes, in intervals of 2 seconds, which contains a train in movement as part of it.
