WHAT IS THE CREATOR PROGRAM?

The TrainTracker Creator Program connects railfan content creators with the platform and community. Creators get tools to share their content directly on TrainTracker, a personalized referral link to grow the community, and featured placement that puts their work in front of thousands of railfans.

GROW YOUR AUDIENCE

Get a custom referral link (e.g., traintrackerapp.com/ref/yourchannel) to share with your audience. Track signups, see your impact, and help the community grow.

GET FEATURED

Your profile gets a Creator badge, enhanced social links, and a Featured Content section. Your best work is showcased to every railfan who visits your profile.

WHY CREATORS MATTER

Your chase videos, photography, livestreams, and stories inspire new railfans and keep the community engaged. The Creator Program is our way of giving back to the people who make this hobby great.

Hello from the hills of West Virginia! On my YouTube you’ll find videos filmed mostly on the former Chesapeake and Ohio but I’ll also make note of what’s going on out there on other CSX lines and NS, mostly on the old Virginian. Can’t wait to show you railroading in this part of Appalachia

I’m the creator behind Southwest Railroad Photography, based in New Mexico. I travel throughout the western U.S. chasing and photographing trains, especially classic Santa Fe Warbonnets and rare power. My goal is to share great railroad photography, help railfans find trains, and grow the community one train at a time.

I’m a railfan born in Wisconsin and lives in Texas. I travel a lot to several places and take a huge interest in Mexican railroading and branch lines of both shortlines and Class 1s. I also upload videos about various obscure and unknown rail topics in order to help get these topics known.

Hello! I am Amtrak 4609 Productions, a railfan from Central Illinois! Local to me are the CN Chicago and Champaign Subdivisions. Most of the time I will be in a small town of Rantoul, IL catching Amtrak and Canadian National trains along the Ex-IC Mainline. I do branch out and railfan other spots sometimes, such as the UP Villa Grove Sub or the NS Lafayette District. I hope you would check out my channel as it means a lot. Thanks!
