Once I got the 2 board (Washington DC Metro System) and after the several hours on Saturday the 13th I finally got it to work! I was so excited and amazed that it's working and how cool and awesome it is! Wow! After connecting to the Traintrackr WifI I had to do the alternate setup where you open a new tab and enter some IP Address and configure the WiFi etc. That is what did it for me and got it up and running! I love this!! It's great!!! I even got up in the middle of the night to see most of the lights off because no train was running. Great product!!

The Washington D.C. TrainTrackr is simply outstanding. It brings the entire WMATA Metro network to life in real time, lighting up with precision as trains move across the map. I was genuinely impressed by how closely it mirrors the official WMATA live map tool — the timing and movement are nearly identical, down to the station updates.
The build quality is top-tier, and it’s clear a lot of thought went into both the design and the data integration. It’s more than just a display — it’s functional art for anyone who loves D.C., transit systems, or just beautiful engineering done right.
Watching trains flow through the system in sync with the real WMATA data feels both mesmerizing and surprisingly useful. Whether you’re a Metro regular, a data geek, or a fan of clean design, the D.C. TrainTrackr deserves a prominent spot on display in your home.
Absolutely phenomenal work by the TrainTrackr team.
