TrackWatch: The Missing Amtrak Track Number
An iPhone app that adds live track and platform assignments to Amtrak journeys at 30 stations.
Field notes
TrackWatch combines Amtrak’s live train data with track assignments collected from station departure boards, then sends updates through Apple push notifications rather than relying on continuous background refresh. The page lists coverage at 30 stations, including parts of Southern California, Connecticut, the Hudson Valley, and the Northeast Corridor. Riders can follow up to five trains, select individual stops for alerts, and see route progress through Lock Screen, Home Screen, Dynamic Island, map, and station-board views.
