There are lots of personal flight logbooks out there, and in my opinion, the best one is myFlightradar24. It lets me keep track of all the flights I've taken over the course of my lifetime, showing them on a map and providing statistics such as distance travelled, time spent in the air and emissions caused by these flights.
However, since travelling by train is so much better than flying, I've been trying to find a similar tool for keeping track of my train journeys. I've even started building one myself, but I've only managed to create a suitable database and API so far, as I'm finding it quite difficult to create great user interfaces.
Luckily, the search is over. Enter viaduct.world, a free tool that allows me to keep a record of my train journeys. It has a pretty user interface and creates stunning maps of past journeys. It also keeps track of a number of details for every trip, such as travel date and time, travel class and train operator. But what nerds like myself truly appreciate is that it also supports user-defined tags and free-text notes.
What's more, it has a refreshingly short and easy-to-understand privacy policy, making it clear that personal data is not disclosed to third parties (just like my own website they don't even use Google Analytics).
So, how does viaduct fund the service? They sell the stunning maps I mentioned above. You can choose from maps of your personal journeys, your local train network or beautiful railway maps of places you still want to visit. If you like maps and/or trains, be sure to check out their website.
