Near Real Time Info: Amtrak

Submitted by garyprice on Sun, 2007-03-11 08:25.

We took care of near real time information for airplanes yesterday.

Today, near real time information for Amtrak trains.

Enter a city pair OR a city an train number.

A page with one or more trains will appear. Select the train of interest and click "resubmit."

Another page, with departure/arrival info will appear along with any info about delays and estimated departure/arrival info.

Btw, don't worry about the potential error message at the top of the page.

[Update: correct link is here. Thanks to the anonymous commenter who alerted us!]

It works decently. However, it takes a while to update.

Link broken ... but there is hope ...

Thanks for the tip. Directly entering at the page linked above gives an error (and is not very helpful about getting you to the right place).

Fortunately it's on the bottom half of the home page ...

http://www.amtrak.com/

which redirects to

http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=Amtrak/HomePage

Thanks for the link update
