Not totally AGR related, I know, but helpful to many of you who don't often use NJTransit.

NJT recently released a mobile website called DepartureVision which lets you view data from station departure boards at NJT train stations. The relevance to Amtrak travellers is that NY Penn and Newark Penn are both on this system. I've caught many a train using the DV data having run from the subway at NYP straight to a track with a minute to spare when the track number has already been removed from the station departure board.

I hope this helps Amtrak passengers in a similar way. Does anything comparable exist at other Amtrak stations with many tracks, like PHL or DC's Union?
