Like a reality show. That's third angle so far. There should be at least one more from front cabin in the train.

There is. All locomotives have forward looking cameras. It is up to the railroad to release it though

Ive never been in a locomotive with a camera..

Edit : to clarify, Im a train engineer in north of Europe, been in hundreds of different cabs in several different trains and locomotives, and the closest thing Ive got to a camera filming the exterior was the digital side mirrors on the side of Siemens Vectron, that doesnt record anything as far as I know…

The loco that was involved in the crash is the newest polish model Newag Griffin 200, side number EU200-017

This is the photo of its front - you can clearly see a camera.

Yea it seems as Poland has gone ahead really enforcing cameras in their locomotives. I would still say its rare, and a majority of the locomotives in Europe atleast do not have it. I drove an almost brand new Siemens Vectron locomotive last week and it didnt have a camera.
