Tracking railroad cars during transit using computer implemented methods. Location information for railroad cars is obtained from sensors through a computer network and input into a computer system. Locations of trains are represented by train symbols on a graphical representation of a geographical region. In different embodiments, the location information is used to determine how the railroad cars are grouped into trains; when an operator selects one of the train symbols, one railcar symbol is displayed for each of the railroad cars that make up the train; or a bad ordered car is depicted. In various embodiments, GPS coordinates are used, shapes of locomotives or railcars are used, train symbols are shown at a shifted location when two of the trains are close together, a particular train is displayed in an ocean when location information is unavailable, or railcar symbols are displayed in a spiral pattern.
