Sschaer,

So does it look like it really is a real time representation of moving trains or is it a fancy mockup?

Best,

TJ,

Either way, it is pretty impressive!

Mark,

It is that. The Hybrid view with the system overlayed on the Google Earth background is really awesome.

Best,

Thanks for this link! I'm familiar with the Zurich area, and find this rendition fascinating.

My wife wants to know where the gnomes are.  She got fed up looking at the little 'esses' beebling around.

That's what I want to track my trains

i can also see the trains out of my bedroom window and could check if the website is real time. it was not. checked several times.
just keep in mind they're still in the alpha phase of the project. i assume accuracy will improve over the next months.

Can you tell if they are always "x" minutes behind?

I noticed that the time indicated is Eastern Standard Time, as are departure times. Aren't we talking about Switzerland. Wouldn't the time be in the AM, i.e. tomorrow morning?
