Visit the official Amtrak website where you will find information on the company, its service, trains, tickets and baggage specifications.
Click on the "Status" button located along the top of the booking widget on the left. You will be taken to a form that asks for the date, train number (which is optional as most do not know it), departure and arrival cities, and scheduled times of the train you are looking for, enter the information requested and click the "Check Status" button.
Review the Train Status page that opens. On this page you will find a breakdown of the train's progress from departure to its current location. There is a stop-by-stop assessment of the arrival times and departures from each station along the route complete with reports on lateness or earliness.
