Trains.fyi – a live map of passenger trains in the US and Canada
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.
Trains.fyi – a live map of passenger trains in the US and Canada launched on November 27, 2023 with 503 votes, #33 of 4,332 launches that month and more than 99% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
Trains.fyi is an interactive map that displays the real-time locations of passenger trains across the United States and Canada. Created after the maker experienced a train delay and wondered where trains were positioned, the tool allows users to track trains as they move. It provides a visual way for train travelers and enthusiasts to monitor current train positions and movements across North American rail networks.

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.
