24 hour simulation of the New York City subway system (MTA trains only).
<p>The New York City Subway system has 421 stations and a total line length of 321km making it the largest system in America and #4 worldwide.
</p><p>Each bullet in the simulation represents a train.
Displayed is typical Tuesday traffic without service disruptions in the pre-Sandy era (timetable data from 2012; 1 to South Ferry; R tunnel open; normal Rockaway service).
</p><p>Diamond 6 and 7 services are displayed in round signets.
</p><p>The traincount displayed at the bottom shows how many trains are in service at one time in the whole system: This is a minimum number of actual real trains, because trains reversing and waiting for their next trip at their respective terminal stations are neither displayed nor counted.
</p><p>Thanks to the MTA for making their timetable data availible to the public.
