Pretty neat, but I wonder if that is really "real time" or if there is some kind of delay built in. Seems that in this security overboard  world we live in, that would be a bad idea to some.

Seems to be a several minute delay.....But its close to real time....

I wish I had this when I lived in Texas and I'd go up to the Amtrak depot to see the Texas Eagle go by. Seems I'd go to the depot but hardly ever see the Texas Eagle. This at least would get me in the ballpark. I probably could have even gotten lucky and made it to a meet between 21 and 22 someplace.
