amtrak_train_status
Pack: amtrak · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/amtrak/mcp
Live Amtrak train status and GPS tracking — “where is my Amtrak train”, “is train 6 late”, “track the California Zephyr”. Accepts a train number (“6”, “2150”) or route name (“Coast Starlight”, “Empire Builder”). Returns each active instance of that train: current GPS position, speed, heading, timeliness, next station with ETA and delay minutes, and origin/destination scheduled vs actual times. Data is a community mirror of Amtrak’s own tracking feed (api-v3.amtraker.com); positions update about every few minutes. Example: amtrak_train_status({ train: “6” })
Parameters
