I wonder what goes into deciding what to point. For example, if you watch this clip, you can see the conductor doing 300km pointing at different parts... https://youtu.be/lB4_G9l3mdY?t=158

But I can't quite figure out what.



What I can identified in the video:

- point at speedometer to confirm current speed

- point at master control (acceleration control) to confirm zero (likely during dead sections)

- point at clock and timetable to confirm arrival/passing time

The painting at the end is likely to confirm activation of auto-breaking of ATC train control system.


IIRC they monitor arrival and departure at various levels and times. Speed levels, braking, location @ time, etc. In the video she says "yosh" / "yoshi" after each which is like "(X) is good"
