Where can I find out where trains are at the moment, with a map or otherwise?

I am looking for a website like flightradar24 but for trains, or I like to follow more precisely where my train is than the limited "next departures/arrivals" information that is readily available. Where can I find such information?

Switzerland

vasile.ch for SBB

Realtimetrains. Detailed times but no map.

Raildar. Very roughly geographic diagrammatic representation. Tries to reconstruct how trains move through junctions between the reporting points in the raw data from Network Rail, but often fails miserably so can be confusing to watch,

Opentraintimes. More control-center style schematic presentation of the same data.

Traintimes offers live data of the London tube and via "More Information" in the upper right corner you can switch to London buses or National rail.

Traksy. Alternative presentation of the same data as Opentraintimes with an option to "track" a given train.

USA

TRAVIC.

San Francisco Muni (choose "show map" after selecting line and direction)

San Francisco Muni (subway only)

Transit (app. Includes real-time location data for some urban and commuter services)

World

TRAVIC shows trains in many European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Indonesia, Israel, Brasil, Chile, USA, Canada; note though that for most trains the location shown is only interpolated from the timetable data. You can recognize a train for which live data is available by having a colored ring around the black ring (of the same color as the inner circle).
