Is Amtrak's Train Tracker down? All we're getting here on multiple devices is a blank white page... my folks are planning to head east on 2 out of HOS this afternoon and it's several hours down, we'd really like to keep track of it en route.
 
It worked for me, but was extremely slow to load, such that I almost reported the blank map.

That's not right though... Dixieland had it departing 16 minutes late, but the "Other" track a train site just updated and matches AMTK's call that the train just left San Antonio.
 
Track-a-train is working for me. It says 2 is running 3 hours 47 mins late to HOS
 
Thanks... the updated site is updating now, we're tracking accordingly.
 
Track-a-Train goes thru periodic fits of not working, sometimes solved by just changing browsers.

Evidently Amtrak recorded but then changed the SAS time. I blanked out the Amtrak Status Map time so the system could fill it in again.

The "Other" track-a-train uses the same data source as Amtrak's Track-A-Train - so you can't use one to confirm the accuracy of the other.
