Curious if other people here work on similar things and would be interested in collaborating, or even just using, said library?
Is this kind of info publicly available? I know tracking trains / providing this info publicly is illegal in many US states.

The trains aren't being tracked. Containers are. And not real time. Rather it's a snapshot every 12-18 hours.
Maybe what you're thinking of applies to the trains themselves? Or specific types of railcars?
Would be very interested actually on using, possibly collaborating depending what is needed/involved.
As a first question, what motivated you to make this? Second question, are we talking by ship, train or truck? Or all three?
I would be interesting in seeing the source as a learning project. I find this intriguing, as I would have no idea where to start. As a first question, what motivated you to make this? Second question, are we talking by ship, train or truck? Or all three?
We import and distribute natural stone slabs, wholesale. A major part of that is import and logistics. It's a problem we have, so I'm building this to solve our own issues.
I've talked to other distributors and depending on how large they are, they handle this by either a spreadsheet or an EDI server. This seems either underkill or overkill to me.

Talking ship and train. This data is freely available and these two are currently relevant to us.
open to more questions if you're interested!
I'd be interested in expanding the library to cover the MENA region.
What rails operate in that region, if any, that have openly available container tracking?
