i dont know about others but i use google earth for finding video spots like you but i look on an ordinance survey map then find it on google earth and make sure there are no obstructions (trees, houses, hedges). Sometimes it is very usefull.

There are some great views over Pyongyang North Korea, pity there is very little information about the stations, lines and freight yards there!

You can do both at the same time on this usefull website. I use it all the time for looking at railways. Just type in a location and all is revealed
