Inside the Timebook App

Railroader Timebook brings railroad-specific trip logging, timekeeping, pay notes, contacts, attachments, and summaries into one organized place.

Personal planning and recordkeeping only — not an official FRA, Transport Canada, railroad, payroll, or employer reporting system.

Timeline and daily work

Keep the workday readable as trips, duty periods, layoffs, payments, and notes stack up.

Timeline — first use

Start with a clean timeline built around railroad work instead of scattered notes or screenshots.

Start a new trip

Capture the basics railroaders actually track: times, terminals, symbol, miles, power, crew notes, taxi, and deadhead.

While on duty

Keep your active trip organized while the details are still fresh and easy to verify later.

Payments and layoffs

Keep pay-related entries, layoff records, guarantees, extras, and notes near the trips they belong with.

Layoff tracking

Record time away from work and keep layoff context in the same personal history as your trips.

Several trips, one view

Review multiple trips together so the month tells a clear story instead of becoming a pile of one-off entries.

Trip records

Edit trip details, add notes, review times and mileage, and keep the record searchable.
