RailRadar: Live Train Alerts
Railroad Crossing Status
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Know before you reach the tracks. RailRadar 2.0 is rebuilt with nationwide crossing maps, recent community reports, personalized alerts, and a smoother experience.
See recent community-reported conditions at public railroad crossings near you before you reach the tracks.
A railroad crossing can turn an ordinary drive into an unexpected delay. RailRadar helps you check recent crossing activity, follow the crossings that matter to you, and contribute quick updates that help your entire community.

• Sort crossings by For You, Closest, or Busiest
FOLLOW THE CROSSINGS THAT MATTER
• Follow crossings and receive alerts when new reports arrive
• Pin your most important crossing for faster access

HELP YOUR COMMUNITY MOVE
RailRadar is powered by people helping people. When someone reports what they see, that observation can help the next driver understand what was recently happening before reaching the tracks.
Every legitimate contribution strengthens the local network. As more people participate, crossing information becomes fresher, recurring activity becomes easier to understand, and RailRadar becomes more useful for everyone..
PRIVACY-CONSCIOUS BY DESIGN
No traditional account is required to explore crossings. Participation is optional, location permissions remain under your control, and RailRadar is designed to use only the information needed to provide crossing awareness and protect the integrity of community reports.
Built for commuters, parents, local residents, delivery drivers, field-service teams, and anyone whose day depends on roads that intersect railroad tracks.
Download RailRadar, choose your town, follow the crossings that shape your day, and help your community know what is happening before drivers reach the tracks.
