SEPTA Regional Rail Train Location Mapping

Description

Recently, SEPTA has almost gotten with the times and started publishing how many minutes late each of their trains is. Nick saw this and realized that it'd be possible to combine that information with the other information available – rail line locations, station locations, which trains run where – to, at any given time, compute the location of any given train. The intention is to do this, and then present that location in a Google Maps mashup.
