New: every train's 7-day on-time track record, right on the map. Now tracking 18 U.S. agencies with live positions, speed, and delays.
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.

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.
Every train now shows its 7-day track record — on-time percentage and typical delay when late — right on the detail sheet. See at a glance whether your train usually runs on time, measured against each agency's own on-time standard.
Also in this update:
• NJ Transit is now on the map, along with agency icon fixes across the board.
• Much faster cold start — live trains appear in seconds, not most of a minute.
• Compact delay formatting throughout ("48m", "1h 20m").
• Assorted polish and fixes.
Thanks for riding with Headway — reviews and tips keep it going.
