Well, it was developped by Romanian team WEBGIS, as Iulian Sirbu from Trans-Ferro noticed in the comments.

It’s the case to signal the same map concept applied by WEBGIS to the Romanian Railways: Romanian Trains Live. The result is teh same as for the Swiss one and the news will make Romanian followers proud of their compatriots.

As well there’s a way for rail enthusiast to be always up to date with every train movement on SBB net. The first one is pretty useless considering the well known efficiency of Swiss railways.

Frankly, I have not understood who is the creator of the web application but www.swisstrains.ch is for sure one of the best site I found that let the users track a train position on Google Maps including statistics, timetables and possibility to make queries per train number or per station.

Interesting the “follow” function that shows real time positions of  a specific train, something like a radar monitoring Swiss traffic.
