The only issue I have with this app is it needs to be transferable to a memory card so it frees up internal phone storage

Had this idea for a long time and it's exactly what I imagined my map would look like. 5 stars for the sheet effort alone!

Wow. Thanks for taking the time to create and maintain this app!! I like looking at maps showing where old raillines used to run.

Love this. So much great information in one place. Tons of fun to follow along while riding the train and see where the diverging lines are going and what's coming up.

It does not load at all... I go into the app and there's no map, just a black screen with buttons around the screen. I have tried letting it load for over 15 minutes but with no good outcome.

This app is great, I've been looking for something like this. It'd be great to have some sort of legend for the maps so you could select the lines you wanted to look at.

Love this application that provides you with where the current Railroads are and who owns and operates on them and also shows the early ownership of the former class one Railroads now has fell into the fallen flag Railroads status! Great Forgotten history covers all America and Canada! Thanks everyone who put this application together for us Railfans that love Railroad history!

Leaned a lot about past railroad history in my area and places I have been too. Excellent app. If you want to learn what railroads operated where, this is the app. Being a railfan, this is one of my favorite apps to use.

Garbage ad integration.

Great app for locating former right of ways. The location function is a nice touch. I've been recommending it to a lot of rail fans. I was wondering when we will see the lines on the satellite view?

The abandoned mode shows an interurban line in & near my hometown that was never built, but doesn't show the interurban that actually existed for 30 years. Makes me wonder about the accuracy of that map. But the classic era is interesting.

Addictive view of the U.S. and Canadian railroad maps with smooth pan and zoom. Compare today's routes with historic routes and check out the abandoned routes with the zoomable satellite views. Great fun and an indispensable tool for the railfan. Nice search and location finding capability adds usefulness for railfans and history buffs.

Yes, I would use if the worst case scenario I hadn't a roof and basicly if spend all the time finding each trains movements so this a good app if you wanna travel free anywhere in the States or even wanna take it into a hobby of learn where to hop these train route . Each different color and line going certain area you will have to pay attention too for it doesn't read when to go for any stopped train at the maps in detail are very new good to have as a in tool for findng route of trains.

This app is a magnificent resource. I am a YouTuber who posts cinematic videos of trains and I have used this numerous times to mark mileposts in my videos of where trains are at. Incredibly useful and I am never ever one to leave a review on anything. Also an active management team as I noticed a small mistake that I emailed about and I received a reply about it within 24 hours. Very good experience there.

This is best, and most inclusive rail map out there!

One Star because you constantly advertise scammers, (just got an ad telling me that my software protection was out of date) also many advertisements aren't in English which makes it impossible to know what to press to close the advertisement.

This app is amazing! I've been using it for a long time now. however, the ads have gotten borderline unbearable. It's gotten to the point where it will play a 30 second unskippable ad every time you open the app or search for a location.

This app is AMAZING. Not only do you get to see your current, past, and abandoned railroads in your area, it shows everything in an easy to understand manner. Not everything is perfect, but it doesn't have to be when trying to get a relative idea of what tracks were or are located near you. This is my go-to to answer questions, find stuff, and do a quick browse.

It works great off line, when you preload the location you need ahead of time, you need wifi to load the location. It doesn't work if you're out in the field and want to put in a new location. Works better than the other app, that you start at your current home location and use your finger to move to a new location, no named locations to help you find what you need.

Thanks for making this app! As I travel, I have become more observant, and a look at the countryside quickly reveals former lines. For example, a long straight run of scrub trees. So I knew these lines existed, but I didn't know who the owners were. I wish that there were more maps like this of early transportation. Especially of the interurbans, and the telegraph lines, which later followed the railroad right of ways almost as a rule, but not the earlier ones. All the Best! 73 DE W8LV BILL
