I thought it was just a nice graph (nice enough for me to upvote, which I rarely ever do), but mousing over it makes it even more awesome.

EDIT OP, where did you get the data?

Most of the data is collected from the MBTA's real time data feeds that list the current positions of all of the trains. The capacity data (who's entering and exiting the stations) is collected at the turnstiles and is not part of the MBTA's public API, we were able to get this from the MBTA through their developer relations program http://www.mbta.com/rider_tools/developers/.
