Very well done. Helpful. The interface makes sence. However, I dont know if it's getting properly updated as soon as Caltrain changes the schedule or not. It would be great if it would automatically sync w/ current schedule. Thnx Robert.

Brilliant! Thank you - I'd been wishing for such a tool. The clock in the menubar is especially useful in bringing it all together.
