Useless
This app does not show all railroad lines, just passenger lines. Please refund my $.99.
Nice app for rail travel either on Amtrak or rail transit. Ill be Amtraking around the country shortly so Ill be curious to see how this works in my travels. The freight lines need to be a different colour as they are too similar in colour to the highway system. Hard to distinguish freight lines from highways when zoomed in on urban areas. Would be nice to link to Amtrak and city transit for schedules and times. Great app. Fix the freight lines colour issue and five stars.
Not really great for a railfanning tool. Needs a lot more work to identify freight lines. A search tool by general location instead of station would be helpful.
I like this app. It shows the major Amtrak routes on a map. In a future release they could integrate timetables or provide an API to Amtraks site. It also could use improvement identifying freight railroads.
