Grafana — Where The Cool Dashboards Live / Chicago L Trains
Data table. The raw feed under the board, including the rgb string each line colour came from. Wallboard mode. The next train, three times the height of the rest. Readable at ten feet with no pointer. Panel grid. Rows two to four at a third the size. Panel size is carrying the priority. Freshness indicator. A countdown rather than a clock time, which is the right call and hides how old the feed is. Semantic status color. Green for on time, next to green for the Green Line. One hue, two unrelated jobs, one row.
Grafana · Where The Cool Dashboards Live / Chicago L Trains September 10, 2026 Grafana Play (signed out; no version string exposed) sparse · dark · wall
A live departures board for one platform, built out of stat panels against the CTA Train Tracker API, and it is the clearest wallboard in the gallery: four rows, type large enough to read across a concourse, no chrome inside the board and nothing to hover. The next train gets three times the height of the three behind it, which is the layout saying "start here" without a word of copy. The interesting problem is the colour. Pink, Green and Orange are the CTA's own line colours, inherited from the world outside the screen and already known to every rider—which is the best possible reason to use a palette. But the status chip beside them is also green when a train is on time, so on the second row "Cottage Grove" is green because it is the Green Line and "On Time" is green because it is on time, side by side, meaning two unrelated things.
