Railwatch

Get every officially scheduled run for an Amtrak route and service date, including trains that have not started.

Get the official dated schedule board for an Amtrak station, including trains that have not started, plus recent delay-health context.

Get the official dated Amtrak schedule for a train, with live telemetry overlaid only when Railwatch has matched the exact run. Provide serviceDate whenever the user gives a date.

Use this when the user asks which Amtrak trains are currently running or requests an overview of active Amtrak trains. Return active or recently scheduled train summaries and Railwatch URLs; freshness is unknown until checked with get_train_status. Do not call for unrelated requests or solely because Railwatch is selected.

Search the official Amtrak route catalog by route name, origin code, or destination code and return Railwatch route URLs.

Search official Amtrak GTFS schedules for direct trips between two station codes on an exact service date, including pre-departure and future trains.

Use this when the user asks to find or identify an Amtrak station, or when a station code is needed for an Amtrak schedule or train-status question. Search by code, station name, city, or state and return station details plus Railwatch URLs. Do not use as a general city or place lookup, or to gather location context for unrelated requests such as weather, flights, or text summaries.
