Service Update
Welcome to "Rail Time"
You
are now viewing VRE's new real time tracking, Rail Time! This interactive
system map to the right is the latest innovation from Virginia Railway
Express. It is similar to Train Brain with several upgrades. In addtion
to showing current train location, you can zoom in to see exactly where
the train is located. Locations are reported by GPS locators on board
each VRE train.
How to Use Rail Time
To view a pop-up box containing the current status of a train,
simply place your mouse over the train�s icon. In addition to status,
the pop-up contains a timestamp indicating when the train was at the
location shown on the map. As an added feature, click your mouse directly
on the train�s icon and zoom in to a detailed street map of the selected
train�s location.
Can't find your train?
If your train is being tracked via GPS it will appear to the
right. If the GPS is unavailable, it is being "manually tracked".
Manual tracking is done by conductor reports from the train. Manually
tracked trains can be found on the Train
Status page.
All browsers may not support the pop-up feature. As an alternative,
the status of all trains scheduled to be in operation at the current
time can be accessed on the Train Status
page.
