           live CTA 'L', dot by dot

Live CTA 'L' train positions, rendered as a Unicode-braille map of
Chicago and served over Gopher -- the 1991 protocol, no HTTP, no
JavaScript.

What's here:
  * a braille train map (plain), and an ANSI colour version overlaying
    the Chicago coastline, river, expressways and landmark codes under
    the trains
  * a matching char-cell geographic atlas (atlas.ansi)
  * per-line listings and a detail page for every running train
  * Chicago landmarks, each with its own page
  * AI narration panels -- dispatch, a per-station SITREP, event
    advisories (fed by the cta-track-grid Worker; see below)

How it works:
  A Rust fetcher polls the CTA Train Tracker API, renders a complete
  static gopher tree each cycle, and atomically swaps it into place;
  the geomyidae daemon serves it. One km-based projection (cos(lat)
  longitude shrink + terminal cell-aspect correction) draws the city
  north-up and undistorted. It cross-compiles to big-endian PowerPC --
  it runs on a PowerMac G5.

  Canvas: 48x38 braille cells (96x152 pixels).

real-time web tracker whose Worker also powers the AI panels above:
