Field notes
The board combines departure timing with line, destination, train number, and track state, including labels for boarding, posted, predicted, and not-posted trains. Its fallback mechanism uses the historical tracks associated with a particular train rather than presenting an unexplained estimate. The page also identifies data delay and lack of affiliation with NJ Transit or Amtrak, so its predictions are a supplement to—not a replacement for—the station boards.
