SEPTA Regional Rail APIs

The TrainView API returns information on all current regional rail trains.

The NextToArrive API returns departure and arrival times between two different stations. Please refer to the Regional Rail Inputs page (see below) to see all valid inputs. <ul> <li>req1 is the starting Regional Rail station</li> <li>req2 is the ending Regional Rail station</li> <li>req3 is an integer with the number of results to show</li> </ul>

The Arrival/Departure API returns a list/queue of regional rail trains to arrive at a station in two/both directions. The direction is demarcated as either Northbound or Southbound. The directions are obviously not geographical references, but rather a reference to the old Reading and Pennsy Railroads. The key to understanding the direction is by using Suburban Station as a starting point: Any trains that move eastbound towards Market East are all considered Northbound; trains going from suburban t o 30th St are all Southbound. The path field describes more accurately the path of travel along various branches. Every regional stop is a valid parameter. Please refer to the Regional Rail Inputs page (see below) to see all valid inputs.
