That's a new train and it has a video recorder.

You Can't Miss These Signals

The train control system communicates with a computer in the locomotive to display current messages from the railway's signaling system, showing the current signal condition, speed restrictions and the current authorized speed at any time. With this in the cab on the control console, the engineer can always see the current signal condition, and be prepared to slow or stop the locomotive in advance.
