About the United States: times come from Amtrak's published timetable. Amtrak does not publish live delays, so there are none in the app – no "on time" and no delay figures. A train's position on the map is calculated by our own algorithms from that timetable and placed on the real track, so a dot is a calculation rather than a GPS reading. Please note: live delays, delay alerts and kilometre tracking are not available in the United States. Timetable data: Amtrak. This app is not affiliated with Amtrak or with any train operator.
