I can find a website to track trains but is there also a phone number for tracking if a train is on time?
I usually use the Status page in the app or the normal 800 no, more info is always better. Thanks for those page links, got them favorited ^^You will get a much more up-to-the-minute result from Amtrak Status Maps or (my favorite) the Amtrak/VIA Live Map. "Julie" at the 800 number tends to be very optimistic and assume that the train will make full track speed from its last reported point of delay to your station. The live maps show you where the train actually is and give you a history of how late it has been at every station. Just be advised that sometimes the data link (both maps depend on data retrieved from Amtrak) goes down and they become unreliable. Keep an eye on the last update time when using the maps.
There used to be, but I don't think it exists anymore. Probably can call Amtrak's number and ask "Julie"
I was thinking about a number you used to be able to send a text to with the station and train number and get a text message back (before smartphones). This would be nice to still have for those who don't have smartphones.800-USA-RAIL and Julie, definitely still exist. Though I always bypass Julie and ask for a live agent, unless I'm asking about a train's status.
Didn't someone start a third-party service once for that purpose? I thought I recalled seeing a post or two around here about it way back when.I was thinking about a number you used to be able to send a text to with the station and train number and get a text message back (before smartphones).
