How can I track my train?
There are two possibilities to find your train. Either you can display the whole map by choosing the “View live map”-option and zoom in to your train. Or you can search for your station. To do this, simply enter the station name or station code to lookup to begin tracking your train.
Is my train on time?
Maybe... To see if you train is on time you can use the train status tool and just click on a specific train and take a look on the left side. You will see the stations and the estimated delay or if your Amtrak train will be early. As a first indication if your Amtrak train is on time you can refer to the color codes on the map. Green means, that your Amtrak train status is: on time – meaning the train is within the grace period. Yellow means, your train is late and in between the grace and 2x the grace period. If there the color is red, your trin is late by at least two times the grace period. More than six times the grace period mean that the background is black. If there is a grey background, it means that there is a service malfunction.
