Good news, Caltrain has released their raw schedule data as a GTFS
feed! This should make working with the Caltrain data a bit more
straightforward than maintaining a scraper.

The feed itself is here:
http://www.caltrain.com/google_transit_feed/

With some license text here:

The GTFS format specification is here:
http://code.google.com/transit/spec/transit_feed_specification.html

And there's a list of other public feeds, along with Python and Java
code for feed processing, in the GoogleTransitDataFeed project:
http://code.google.com/p/googletransitdatafeed/

Thanks to Elliott Schwartz for requesting a feed from them while back,
and to everyone at TransitCampBayArea!

Oops, I was in such a hurry to share the news that I forgot to mention
the folks at SamTrans/Caltrain that helped make this possible: Robert
Casumbal, Rod Bagain, and Patrick Boland. Thanks for supporting the
developer community!

Joe
