Trains.FYI

Trains.FYI

Trains.FYI is a real-time live map that shows the current locations and movements of passenger trains — bringing rail traffic into view the same way flight-tracking sites do for airplanes.

Mission

To make train movements visible, transparent, and easy to explore for travellers, commuters, rail enthusiasts, and curious wanderers — turning hidden rail data into a simple, interactive experience.

What it is

Trains.FYI is a web-based train tracking platform and app that visualizes passenger train activity on an interactive map with real-time updates. It pulls data from multiple rail networks and displays where trains are right now, letting you watch journeys unfold across cities and countries.

Features

  • A live interactive map of trains across North America (and expanding)
  • Support for multiple rail networks and cities
  • Train positions that update automatically with fresh data
  • Tools useful for travel planning, exploration, or just satisfying curiosity

Built from a simple idea — if planes can be tracked in the sky, why not trains on the ground? — Trains.FYI turns rail movements into something you can actually see and explore.
