"Track your Train" seems to be missing/not showing the Empire Builder for the last few days☹

The author of NA Intercity Rail Tools noticed that problem, too. He believes it's because 7 and 8 have added MKA and SVT to make up for the Hiawatha cutbacks. So a bug on Amtrak's side. I emailed them last week but just got a generic response.

But 7/8 are still showing up on the map at Amtrak Status Maps - West

Which makes me think its a GPS issue. Amtrak Status Maps (aka dixielandsoftware) gets it's data from Amtrak via station info (arrived/departed), not GPS.
Your ASM data is from the GPS data, correct?

Right now it’s stuck at 1:35pm eastern. I’m using iOS 13.2’s Safari.

I don't retrieve the data for the maps - I just know it is 2 different sources and the source with the GPS data is not showing 7/8.

Yes, I see 7/8 are back. Although they are both missing their final destination.....unless they aren't running all the way to SEA or CHI.
