TrackWatch: Amtrak Trains

Know your track before you reach the departure board. Track and platform numbers at 30 stations, plus alerts at every stop you pick. Try Plus free for 2 weeks.

TrackWatch answers the question you actually have on the platform: which track, and how long do I have?

WHICH TRACK — BEFORE THE BOARD SAYS SO Track and platform numbers for 30 stations, including Los Angeles and the Pacific Surfliner corridor, the Metro-North network across Connecticut and the Hudson Valley, and New York Penn. At most of these the track is posted hours ahead — TrackWatch shows it the moment it appears. At New York Penn, where tracks go up at boarding, it appears the moment it's assigned.

ALERTS AT THE STOPS YOU CHOOSE Pick one stop or several along the route, not just your destination, and set how many minutes of warning you want. Alerts are scheduled in advance and arrive even when the app is closed and your phone is locked — and they carry the track number with them.

A LOCK SCREEN THAT KEEPS UP Your train's route sits on your Lock Screen, station codes strung along the line with a dot marking exactly where the train is now. It updates in the background as the train moves, so what you glance at is current — not where the train was when you last opened the app.

HOME SCREEN WIDGET Follow up to five trains at once. Same route-line design, always current, no need to open anything.

EVERYTHING YOU'RE FOLLOWING, IN ONE PLACE A Tracked tab showing every train you're watching, what alerts are armed on each, and where each one is — so you can adjust or stop following without hunting for the train again.

LIVE MAP Real-time position, speed, heading and delay status on a live map.

STATION BOARD A real departure board for any station in the network — train number, route, scheduled and estimated times, live status, styled after the boards in the terminal.

FIND A TRAIN FAST Search by train number, route or station and start following in a couple of taps.

DELAY STATUS AT A GLANCE The same colour coding everywhere: green for on time or early, yellow for a minor delay, red for a serious one. No fine print to decide whether to hurry.

BUILT ON OUR OWN BACKEND TrackWatch runs its own service reading Amtrak's public data directly, and adds track and platform assignments collected from station departure boards. No third-party feed in the middle.

NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT, NO DATA COLLECTION There is no sign-up. Your location is never transmitted. Nothing about you is collected or sold.

TrackWatch Plus unlocks track and platform numbers, arrival alerts at the stops you choose, the home screen widgets and the Lock Screen Live Activity.
