Hey all! My train the other day was delayed and I got curious where they all were at any given time, so I built a map and figured I'd share it.

Hi HN, I’m a junior developer. I wanted to share a side project I’ve been working on. The national railway carrier (BDZ) has no public API. They have an official map but the UI is quite dated, often lags, and doesn't show the full route context. I wrote a short write-up about the process here: https://www.pavlinbg.com/posts/bg-train-tracker I know it's still rough around the edges (I'm still working on it), but I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions!

I was frustrated with the existing caltrain websites / apps, so I made a super minimalist one to answer the actual question I have: how long until the next train? If you're in SF it grabs the next southbound trains, otherwise, the next northbound.

Mine is just a little nodejs app with DynamoDB backend. As it turns out, Caltrain was already negotiating contracts with a company called SimplifyTransit to do the same thing. https://twitter.com/caltrainalerts/status/156787824427128013... Happy to shake things up and provide Caltrain riders with options!

Our son is really into trains. He was home sick a few weeks ago and we found that there are several YouTube channels that have live video feeds from various train stations or railway clubs around the US. He really liked it, but he kept wanting to know when the next train was going to show up so he could see it. I built this small website at https://train.api.connelly.casa/ which shows the time to the next train (Pacific time) and will automatically rotate channels to find the next train. It uses the Amtrak live train data today. In the future I might add other agencies, since…
