The Ethiopia train network connects major cities, regional centres, and commuter zones across the country. This page tracks Ethiopia trains in real time using timetable-based position interpolation calculated from official published schedules. Trains shown on the map update regularly so you can see which services are currently running and where they are in their journey.
Train positions on the map are calculated using timetable interpolation. The system takes the scheduled departure time, the sequence of stations on each service, and the GPS coordinates of each station, then calculates where the train should be right now assuming it is running on schedule. Actual delays are not reflected in the estimated position unless real-time delay data is provided.
The Ethiopia national rail network offers a range of service types catering to long-distance travellers, commuters, and regional passengers. Long-distance intercity trains serve the major population centres with reserved seating and, on many routes, catering or buffet facilities. Regional and commuter trains provide frequent services between smaller cities, towns, and urban suburbs without seat reservations. The full timetable for all Ethiopia trains, including departure times and stop lists, is available on the schedule page.
Tickets for Ethiopia trains can be purchased through the national rail operator's official website or app, at station ticket machines, or through authorised third-party booking platforms. Fares typically vary by service type, booking class, and how far in advance the ticket is purchased. Booking early usually provides access to the lowest available fares on long-distance routes. Some commuter services use a flat-rate or zone-based pricing structure independent of advance booking.
