READ. OBSERVE. RECORD.
A field guide for curious spotters.
You do not need recognition software to start. A few clear observations make a photograph easier to identify and a collection easier to trust.
Identify a train from a photograph
Begin with the cab, doors, window arrangement and formation. Use a readable number as evidence, compare more than one feature, and keep uncertain sightings open for correction.
Read the identification guide →Take photographs that help
A wide view preserves the formation; a second detail frame can preserve a number. Learn what to keep in the image, how to check blur and why the original matters.
Read the photography guide →Keep a reliable collection
Separate distinct classes from repeat sightings. Record what you observed, correct the existing encounter when needed and check a backup before changing phones.
Read the collecting guide →How to use the reference
Browse by country to find class names, operators, categories and aliases. Open the linked class source before resolving similar candidates. Country associations help narrow a search, but do not prove where a train can operate. Collector rarity tiers are curated prompts, not live fleet counts or guaranteed spotting probabilities.
