Railfan Copilot

Know what's rolling before you ever leave the house. Railfan Copilot is the all-in-one tool built by railfans, for railfans — combining live train positions, locomotive identification, community sightings, and smart notifications into one polished app.

🚂 LIVE TRAIN TRACKING
See freight, Amtrak, and commuter trains moving in real time on an interactive map. Filter by railroad, tap any train for speed, origin, destination, and consist details. Set a radius and get approach alerts when a train is getting close to your location.

📸 LOCO ID — AI-POWERED LOCOMOTIVE IDENTIFICATION
Snap a photo of any locomotive and let Railfan Copilot identify it instantly. Get the road number, railroad, model, and history — perfect for the platform, the bridge, or the grade crossing.

🔍 SYMBOL DECODER
Don't know what train symbol means? Type it in and get a full breakdown — origin, destination, railroad, and train type. Works offline with a built-in symbol database.

👥 COMMUNITY SIGHTINGS
See what other railfans are spotting near you, plotted live on the map. Share your own sightings with photos, location, railroad, and train symbol. Every pin is a real report from a real railfan.
