Many locomotives (all new EMDs and GEs as well as many older engines) have cameras in them (at least on my rr).  The camera is used to provide solid evidence against cars and trespassers that are hit by the train.

  

The opinions expressed here represent my own and not those of my employer, any other railroad, company, or person.

You can buy them for your automobile for the same reason; provide evidence against the other guy in an accident.
