Real-time train tracking apps

The cluster consists of applications that provide real-time train schedules, live positions, delay information, and route planning across various rail networks, ranging from national dashboards to community-driven trackers. The dated history is too thin to read a shape from, with only four dated entries before the index's start on 2026-08-11; the cluster predates the index or its members are largely undated. Traction leadership is held by tagkollen with two stars, followed by cademetro and Tjoeke with zero each.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
