HOW IT WORKS Train Radar combines official and open transit data feeds with the real geometry of the rail network. Our servers compute every train's position live and stream it to the map — snapping to real GPS positions where available. Coverage and data quality depend on the underlying feeds and can change at any time. DISCLAIMER Train Radar is provided for informational purposes only.
