Implement logic to handle express train

[patelpriyank]

Express train trips skip few stations but they still run on the same track through the same list of stations. Currently, our linear equation connects current station to its next station as straight line. This draws straight line between two express train trip stations missing intermediate stations, which in case, makes train look running out of train tracks. we just need to account for all intermediate stations for express train too.

improvements IMO

1. adjust express train trips data in backend or UI and add intermediate stations.
2. animate train's stopover time at each station with little bit of stop over time. this makes it look like train really stopped at station, waited for passengers to get on and out and then left.
3. this way, if it's express train, it will pass through station without stop over while local trains do wait for some seconds.

I took a stab at this in commits 46c5f92 and 6ccec24. I'm not sure what I think about the result; the trains stay along the routes, whch is great, but for some reason they look choppier than they did before. Maybe, like @Persnickety said in issue #2, we should use jQuery animate on the cx and cy attributes instead of just setting the values.

guys, did we ever heard back from septa on anything? for this app or for septa choice award?

We were waiting to piggy back on the Tech Philly write up. DVRPC also
wants a facebook post. Getting the 2012 apps on the appsforsepta.org site
would help. We also have a survey for participants as well as the in-house
folks, to get more feedback.

They sent us the videos but the quality isn't very good, I'm getting the
feeling they're not gonna put a whole piece together with just those
videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/technicallymedia

We sent out emails to all the presenters at the start of the week to
collect links and screenshots so we can put a gallery together on
appsforsepta.org with a bunch of primary material to go along with the
videos, as they don't do a good job representing the apps.

We're compiling data here as we receive it:

Thanks for the updates Mike.

I have this vimeo link to our app but it is not presentation video and so
it doesn't include presenters. I don't know if that would work for you.
