Https://amtraker.com - a very nice map based train tracking tool. Lots of good visualization here about how late a train is running, and if you click a train number you can zoom in for more info. Source: 8 months ago

There’s https://amtraker.com/ for tracking Amtrak, but that’s about it when it comes to tracking US trains. Source: over 1 year ago

Another source is mentor feedback, somebody who tells you he thinks you can do it, some projects seem more open to new contributors, search good first issue, if you will open an issue saying you are willing to commit to say 1-2h a week for a year I believe you will get help. Source: 6 months ago
