Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A live NY Penn Station departures tracker that predicts train tracks before NJ Transit posts them.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-20 issue.

For: NJ Transit riders leaving from NY Penn
Worth noticing: Its scoring rule excludes predictions made less than 30 seconds before NJ Transit posts the track.

Field notes

The tracker separates its own call from NJ Transit's eventual posted track and records both timings relative to departure. Its report card treats an early call as a win only when it beats the official announcement by at least 30 seconds, while unconfirmed calls remain capped at 99%. Riders can narrow the board by destination stop, with that preference stored locally, and expand delay or line-wide alerts for individual trains.
