Stay safe on and around the tracks
  • Stay on public property. Never trespass on railroad property.
  • Obey all signs, crossing gates, and law enforcement instructions.
  • Train data may be delayed, incomplete, estimated, or community-reported — do not use this app for safety-critical decisions.
  • Freight sightings are community reports, not official railroad tracking. Treat them as anecdotal.
