The Deutsche Bahn not only owns the trainyards, but also many railway tunnels (>900) and 33000 km of tracks. I think a 2m corridor next to the rails is technically also in their possession. So this whole thing could mean much more surveillance than just the yards the Bahn spokesperson stated in the article.

In my hometown the police chopper is often used to hunt down those graffiti terrorists - much to the joy of the residents who live next to Bahn property.
