If you resize or iconify Netscape, the simulation will start over from the beginning. If your machine can not keep up as more trains are added to the schedule, the speed-up factor will ramp down. Outside the morning and evening commutes, when less trains are running, the speed will increase again. The animation currently allows the simulation of weekday schedules. Commute hours are a good time to see the system when it really gets busy.
Trains disappear from the map when they reach their final scheduled station.
The route color changes from blue to greenish-brown where the lines go underground. The scale given on the map is approximate.
