Animated Commuter Rail Maps

[amtrak_russ]

I stumbled upon this website showing a animated map of the Metra system and found one for New Jersey Transit, MBTA, LIRR, WMATA, and SEPTA. Each train is represented by a dot traveling across the map on a schedule. So basically it is a 24 hour representation of train movements across the system.

Years ago I discovered one of these for Southern California, but it seems to have fallen off the Internet.

Good find.
