Monitoring Train Arrivals

[Steve P.]

Is there a way to monitor a train's status, delays, and late arrival times?

have you checked the links forum on this board? I believe there are links there to get you the information you want.

I looked at the links. Perhaps Amtrak Status Maps and its companion page, Amtrak Train Status/Archives, could be added.

Thanks,

John did a great job with the Status Maps. Who made Amsnag?

I didn't realize they were not on the links page. They definitely should be (both Amsnag and Status Maps, thanks John and Paul) as they are very useful. I also like the text program by Mr. Toad, I think. I use it when traveling by train.

edit: it was MisterToad and here is the thread with the information on accessing that feature http://discuss.amtraktrains.com/index.php?/topic/42372-train-status-via-text-message/page__p__317625__fromsearch__1&do=findComment&comment=317625

But keep in mind that late trains can make up time. To be safe check how it is doing one or two stops before your stop. Keep in mind that many trains have padding in their schedules precisely so they can make it up. Not saying it will-----after all it can even get later-----just keep it in mind.
