Some people have theorized it wasn't Amtrak who wanted the bs encryption (also probably why the keys haven't changed in 3 years and they've made no effort to prevent people from grabbing this data) but actually some sort of N

I actually came across an old hackernews thread where you mentioned you built the site, I guess you have a library to do it for you now lol
