Can You Track Train Speed?

Q: Can I track train speed without downloading an app?

Yes. TrainSpeedTest.net is a browser-based GPS speed tool that works without any app download. Just open the website on your phone and start tracking.

Q: Does train speed tracking work in tunnels?

GPS signals are blocked inside tunnels, so speed readings will pause. Tracking resumes automatically when the train exits the tunnel and GPS reacquires satellites.
