Is Railway down right now?
Is Railway down? We have no result yet: Vigil has just started watching Railway through Railway's official status page, every 5 minutes. This page shows only real measurements, never user reports, so the first answer appears within 5 minutes. Until then, check Railway's official status page.
Railway incident history
No history yet: Vigil has not stored any checks of Railway. This table fills in from our own checks only, so it starts empty rather than showing guesses.
How to read this: every number comes from checks run from one location, Vigil's server at Hetzner in Falkenstein, Germany, every 5 minutes; there are no user reports and no second region. Durations and acknowledgement delays are accurate to about ±5 minutes. Railway publishes no machine-readable status page, so there is no acknowledgement to measure. Components are not broken out: we store the page's overall indicator and open incident titles. Last 90 days at most. Official vs observed, all services.
What this check measures
Official status page (Instatus API). Railway's own status page (status.railway.com, hosted on Instatus). Every 5 minutes we read whether Railway has an open incident and which of its components are marked down. It reflects what the Railway team has posted: during its 21 Oct 2026 outage the page showed an open incident while every component stayed green, so an open incident here can still mean a full outage for you.
Official sources
How we measure: every check is stored and feeds the service reliability dataset (uptime, outage episodes and response times of all 64 services, CSV). What the percentage means: uptime, explained.
Railway not working? Questions and answers
Is Railway down for everyone or just me?
This page shows what our own checks see from a server in Europe, independent of your phone, Wi-Fi or mobile network. If this page says Railway is up but it fails for you, the problem is more likely local: your internet connection, DNS, your ISP's route, the app version, or your account. If this page shows failures too, it is probably down for many people.
What should I do if Railway is not working?
Check the official status page linked above, reload or force-close and reopen the app, try mobile data instead of Wi-Fi (or the other way round), and clear the browser cache. For a hosting outage, check whether only one data centre or region is listed; sites in other locations usually keep working.
How often is Railway checked?
Every 5 minutes, around the clock. Each check is stored, so the uptime figures and the history on this page are real measurements, not user reports.
How can I get alerted when Railway has an outage?
