Locomotive spotting, logged properly

In development

Log every unit you catch — road number, builder, model and railroad — with the photo you took and where you were standing. Search a roster of more than 40,000 locomotives, and keep the history of everything you've seen.

LocoTracker's Spotted feed, showing Union Pacific 4014 — an Alco 4-8-8-4 — photographed at Medicine Park, Oklahoma in May 2019, above a second sighting of BNSF 8410.

The feed

Every sighting as a card — road number, builder and wheel arrangement, the railroad, where you caught it and when. Big Boy or a run-of-the-mill SD70, it all logs the same way.
