[Chicago] Metra Rail schedule -> sql db

[Allan Spale]

Hi Tom,

I have done quite a bit of screen scraping lately and have some code that
does a sort of decent job with urls and XPath (when you use it with Firefox
plugins Firebug and XPather). It was very tough to find the modules that
worked best, but it worked out ok for a handful of websites. So, do you want
to just extract all of the schedules and then serve it up differently?
