SEPTA Animation

SEPTA recently added realtime train status at http://trainview.septa.org/. Not much, but its a start... And it's yelling to be XMLified into streaming data.

• Step 1: scrape http://trainview.septa.org/ and produce a feed for train status
• Step 2: scrape the HTML schedules to get train # -> (station,time) tuples
• Step 3: JOIN steps 1 and 2 to have a per station view
• Step 4: Just for fun, also JOIN steps 1 and 2 and plot where each train is right now on the SEPTA system map (simple linear interpolation between stations)
