The NJT version is actually more real-time, but the Amtrak version shows the train's speed.Hey, this is great. Now what we need is a hacker to combine NJT and Amtrak onto one map, and then if the tracking system somehow could show each track, I could see what I am stuck behind when I am on NJT on the NEC crawling along because the dispatcher gave priority to someone else.
