If only Caltrain had a decent API for developers that produced data that is needed for any serious analysis (like train number, speed and lat/long). I hate having to resort to hackey workarounds like scraping for this info. I believe the NextBus API for MUNI has actual positional data and vehicle info. Caltrain, being the mediocre agency it is, has a next to useless API (if I remember the docs correctly on 511.org).
