If you travel by train frequently and would like to know where a certain train is at the moment, you can track it live. For this purpose, there are various websites that allow you to search for a train number and track its position on a live map.

This is how you track trains live

If you always want to know exactly where a certain train is at any given moment, various websites offer themselves. Deutsche Bahn, for example, allows you to see which stations a train has already passed through via the app or the website. Alternatively, the page "Zugverfolgung.com" offers itself.

1. Go to the website "Zugverfolgung.com" with your browser.
2. Here you can see the different train companies. For example, select "DB Germany" by clicking on the corresponding entry in the menu bar. Alternatively, select the corresponding image below with a double click.
3. After that, you will see a map of Europe with the various trains. These are indicated by different colored dots.
4. If you scroll further down, you will see the current time. Here you can also fast forward or rewind. If you click on "Forward" or "Rewind" several times, you will increase the speed. Klicken Sie auf das „Punkt“-Icon, wird die Zeit wieder auf die Live-Zeit umgeschaltet.
5. Weiter unten haben Sie zudem die Möglichkeit, mithilfe der Zugnummer oder einer Haltestelle nach bestimmten Zügen zu suchen und diese anzeigen zu lassen.
