trak.am

The service previously known as amtrak.live

This is the lightest weight tracker of Amtrak trains I could imagine (and implement).

Learn more about this service.

Only active trains are available. No historic data is kept, and likely never will be!

What's here

• An index of active trains
• Pages for a given train number, that will load the most recently departed active train for that train number
• Like https://amtrack.live/trains/42 for the Pennsylvanian (42)
• Pages for _specific_ trains when multiple active trains are running for a given train number
• For example, the California Zephyr (6) often has multiple trains on the line with different initial departure dates
• https://amtrack.live/trains/6/YYYY-MM-DD
• Like https://amtrack.live/trains/6/2024-05-23


• JSON!
• For basically every URL, appending /json will give you a lump of JSON, to do with as you please.
