It might be nice to be able to see train delays and flow.
Circuit-board transit maps face the challenge of showing train flow with their few LEDs. Online transit maps have lots of pixels, but face the challenge of showing patterns of flow at time scales larger than a users glance.
One brainstormy idea that has come up in conversation, is to do something analogous to wind graphics like [1], which convey air motion using sample particles moving with unrealistic speed. Perhaps one might do something similar with trains?
