Description

Headway puts live passenger trains from 18 U.S. rail agencies on one map. Whether you're catching the Acela home, riding the LIRR out to Montauk, or waiting on a Metro-North train upstate, you'll see exactly where your train is and whether it's on schedule.

AGENCIES COVERED
Amtrak (nationwide), Brightline, Caltrain, Metra, Metrolink, MARC, SEPTA Regional Rail, Virginia Railway Express (VRE), MBTA Commuter Rail, Tri-Rail, RTD Denver, Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), Metro-North, NJ Transit, Austin CapMetro Rail, Utah FrontRunner, Chicago South Shore Line, and Nashville WeGo Star. Choose which ones you follow in Settings.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Color-coded delay status at a glance — green, yellow, orange, red
• Tap any train for its full route, stops, scheduled vs. actual times, and live position
• Browse stations with live departure boards — what's coming, and when
• Bookmark your regular trains and stations for one-tap status checks
• Filter and sort by route, line, or delay
• Search by train number or route name
• Choose between standard, satellite, and hybrid Apple Maps
• Full Dark Mode and Dynamic Type support

PRIVACY
Your location stays on your device — if you grant location permission, your position is rendered locally and never leaves your phone. Headway has no accounts, no third-party analytics, and no advertising. If the app crashes, it sends Apple's anonymous diagnostic report to help us fix bugs — no identity, no location, no usage history. Full policy at axismaps.ai/headway/privacy.

ABOUT THE DATA
Train positions, schedules, and delays come from each agency's public real-time feed. Headway doesn't alter train positions or times — what you see is what the agency is publishing. Headway is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of these agencies.
