Dutch live railway map: https://spoorkaart.mwnn.nl/ Transport tycoon in the Netherlands is played by 4 or 5 competitors. You can see make out their coloring and general area of operation on this map too. Fun fact: In the Netherlands you have to make sure you 'checkin' to the right transportation company, some stations have 3 checkin posts. Very annoying and embarrassing and error prone. https://commons.wikimedia.org/…

In Italy there are competing fast trains on the same track, all with a red color. With people on the station selling tickets to only one of them. ... So I asked them for the first train from Vincenza to Milan at 13:30... That is 14:44...I bought the 14:44 ticket from "Italo". Then found out there was a "Trenitalia" at 14:04! ... Sorry mister.. this was OUR first train..not THE first train.

In the Netherlands there is also this site https://treinposities.nl/ with positions, train history and much more

The icons being tiny pictures of the actual trains is cute, but makes the map quite confusing to look at!

Edit: I just noticed that the marker style changes if I choose something other than "Equipment" from the map style dropdown, selecting "driving/stationary" certainly makes it a lot more readable.

Seeing as everyone is posting other countries' live railway maps, here is Denmark's: https://www.rejseplanen.dk/bin/help.exe/mn?L=vs_livemap&tpl=...

The "help.exe" in the path is concerning.

The normal web app[0] for finding journeys calls a file called "iphone.exe".[1]

The bin/ is not helping. It's a sixth sense as a bug bounty hunter.

Finnish railway company VR also has a nice live tracker https://www.vr.fi/en/live-train-tracker-map

This has got to be the nicest one I've seen in the thread so far!

It helps that in areas where there's a high concentration of trains on the go they just put a single pin that says "N trains" - the ones that have one pin for every train are a bit busy and can be sluggish
