Wow this is presented exactly the same as the flight data led display. It is odd that the advertising method and the comments are similar to the previous.
Train Trackr is great, and the weather one is also good too.
If you are less into trains (heresy) but still want to look at unusual maps https://raildar.co.uk/map/KGX is your place to go. its a live junction schematic of any train junction in the UK.
I want to find more art like this that updates in real-time, then I feel like I actually appreciate it in the long term. With regular static pictures on the wall I tune them out after they've been there a few months.
The Chicago one could use a bit do a rework. The shape of the Loop is a very very distinctive, even iconic, but here it’s off — it’s squashed and fat, wider than it is tall, rather than narrower.
Obviously some compromises must be made for routing the traces but I’d consider the shape of the Loop to be the most essential element of the whole system.
Love these! My wife gifted me a Chicago CTA map for a birthday gift a few years ago and it makes great wall art.
I found an in-box rated USB-C hardwired power adapter, and ran an additional outlet above an existing one. Then used a couple screwed together brass motherboard standoffs I drilled holes into the drywall for. To my surprise just some standard superglue in the holes have held these far more securely than needed.
Looks like a great piece of “90s retro art” and gets a lot comments from guest!
Build one for Seattle's Link light rail system! There's a new extension opening March 28, 2026, and then after that, the next extension is presumed to open 2032.

I've been designing PCBs for years, and designed over 250 at last count.
We have a couple of products in the pipeline to come out this year, but I'd love to hear what you think we should build next.

Definitely very cool though!
