We so need this in the UK
London did, 5 years ago, for the London Underground: http://traintimes.org.uk/map/tube/ More recently, one London bus at a time: http://traintimes.org.uk/map/london-buses/#73 There's a decent amount of open rail data, and a website listing usages: http://www.openraildata.info/

I thought the same. But I can't actually come up with a good reason. Maybe German trains are so punctual that you can infer their position anyway. Can someone in Berlin measure the lag? Next time I'm back there I might test it.

It's quite easy to make this particular *.exe path return an "Internal Error" by fuzzing the GET parameters, which may or may not be due to someone having written something that parses user-supplied data in C that then segfaults :)
