Know before
you go.
Railside turns live U.S. rail data into one calm, glanceable answer: is your train running, how late is it, and where is it right now — before, during, and after the ride.
Everything the journey needs.
Nothing it doesn't.
Four tabs, one job each. No fares, no seat maps, no upsells — Railside assumes you already have a ticket and cares only about the live truth of the trip.
Your trips, answered
at a glance
Save a round trip and each leg resolves live into a hero card — the single most important fact, biggest and first.
- Delay-forward. The estimated time and a signed delay — 5m early, +11m — lead every card.
- See it move. Next stop, ETA, speed, and live progress along the route.
- Follow any train. Add from running-now suggestions, or tail a train from its detail.
One live board
per station
A home station plus the stops you travel through — each collapsing into a single scrolling answer, top to bottom.
- Next out / next in. The one departure and one arrival that matter, delay-forward and tappable.
- One merged board. Departures and arrivals, time-sorted and filterable, with a YOURS badge on your trains.
- Know the odds. On-time %, typical delay, a 1-in-10 worst case, and when to travel.
Watch every train
move in real time
A real-time map of trains in motion, streamed live — tap any marker straight through to its live detail.
- Everything at once. A live count — 120 running now — with every train tappable.
- Heading-aware. Markers point the way each train is actually traveling.
- Real routes. Lines follow true GTFS shapes, not straight hops.
A passport for the
rides you've taken
Every completed run is captured automatically — real miles, real minutes, real final delay. Never typed in. Plus a map of every route you've covered.
