About TrackWatch: Amtrak Trains
TrackWatch: Answering the key questions of: where is my Amtrak train, is it on time, and what track is arriving on. WHICH TRACK - OFTEN BEFORE IT's POSTED Track and platform numbers for 60 stations, including the Northeast Corridor from Washington to Providence, Los Angeles and the Pacific Surfliner corridor, and the Metro-North network across Connecticut and the Hudson Valley. Often known long before it's posted on the station board or Amtrak's app. ALERTS AT THE STOPS YOU CHOOSE Get notified before you arrive so you can pack up. Pick one or more stops and get a notification as far ahead as you'd like. A LOCK SCREEN THAT KEEPS TRACK Your train's route and schedule lives on your Lock Screen with live updates. Always know exactly what's going on without having to unlock your phone. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Small, medium and large. Each shows the next stop, a countdown and the track once it's posted. The large widget follows four trains with their route lines. 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. 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. LIKELY TRACK Before a track is posted, TrackWatch shows the one your train usually uses, marked "Likely" with a dashed outline. When the station posts the real track, it replaces it. 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. This allows for great uptime, faster updates to you, and push notifications, live widgets, and more. 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. Start with two weeks free, then $2.99 a month or $14.99 a year — or unlock it permanently with a one-time $49.99 purchase. Everything else — the live map, station boards, train search and delay status — is free forever, with no trial and no time limit. Subscription terms: TrackWatch Plus is an auto-renewing subscription, $2.99 per month or $14.99 per year, beginning with a two-week free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the free trial ends, and the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of the period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. The free trial is available once per Apple Account, and any unused portion is forfeited if you purchase the lifetime unlock. The lifetime unlock is a one-time purchase and does not renew.
