Was the whole point of this site to make the cars more visible on the map? B/c they're super hard to see! Would've been so much easier to just use a regular Leaflet slippy map or something and just drop an icon for each car... Could've done that in a day. Sigh.

They mention in the article that a live map of the trains themselves is minor and more of an afterthought.

The main purpose is to show live updated route information.
