Live on the globe now: —
This layer plots Amtrak's active passenger trains on the live 3D globe, each one placed at its current latitude and longitude across the United States. Click a train to inspect its route name, train number, current speed in MPH and heading, and whether it's pre-departure or actively running. Because the underlying feed carries every scheduled stop, you can also see a train's station-by-station progress: scheduled versus actual arrival and departure times, which is how the on-time or delayed status is derived. Coverage follows Amtrak's network, which reaches 46 of the 48 contiguous states plus parts of Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, with the dense Northeast Corridor between Boston and Washington alongside long-distance routes like the Southwest Chief and California Zephyr. The data comes from Amtraker (amtraker.com), an independent project that surfaces the same train-position feed used by Amtrak's own tracking map; Amtraker is not affiliated with Amtrak. Positions refresh as Amtrak reports them, so a train's dot moves and its delay updates over the course of a trip rather than instantly. This is one of roughly 29 live layers you can solo or stack on the same interactive Earth.

Its live location, route name and train number, current speed and heading, pre-departure or active state, and a full station list with scheduled versus actual arrival and departure times that drives the delay status.
Positions and delays update as Amtrak reports them along each route, so a train moves and its status changes over the course of its trip rather than continuously second by second.
Amtrak's US network, including 46 of the 48 contiguous states and a few cross-border stops in Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia, spanning the Northeast Corridor and long-distance routes.
