While everyone here is thinking Amtrak implemented the copy protection, this map was actually built using CartoDB. I honestly just think it's something it includes by default.

- gregsadetsky 8y agoThe mapping engine is CartoDB, but I (seriously) doubt that this copy protection was implemented by them. They're much more serious & better at writing good code. You can also see that the encrypted data stream is coming from https://maps.amtrak.com/services/MapDataService/trains/getTrainsData https://maps.amtrak.com/services/MapDataService/trains/getTr... which is an Amtrak-hosted backend service. If you look at the top comment in https://www.amtrak.com/services/maps.trainlocation.html https://www.amtrak.com/services/maps.trainlocation.html you'll see the name of the consultant that probably worked on this.
