get_route_board
ChatGPTGet every officially scheduled run for an Amtrak route and service date, including trains that have not started.
Overview
Check Amtrak train status, scheduled stops, station arrivals, routes, and direct trips. Railwatch separates published schedules from matched live tracking and explains unavailable or stale data. Open the matching Railwatch page for more detail. No Railwatch account is needed. Railwatch does not sell tickets, send alerts, or access private accounts.
Tools
get_station_board
ChatGPTGet the official dated schedule board for an Amtrak station, including trains that have not started, plus recent delay-health context.
get_train_status
ChatGPTGet the official dated Amtrak schedule and the deployed experimental Railwatch forecast, with live telemetry overlaid only for the exact run. Read predictionModel, predictionStatus and stop railwatchPrediction; includeStops=false still returns nextRailwatchPrediction. No calibrated confidence or interval is available. Provide serviceDate whenever the user gives a date.
list_active_trains
ChatGPTUse 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_routes
ChatGPTSearch the official Amtrak route catalog by route name, origin code, or destination code and return Railwatch route URLs.
search_schedules
ChatGPTSearch official Amtrak GTFS schedules for direct trips between two station codes on an exact service date, including pre-departure and future trains.
search_stations
ChatGPTUse 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.
