Well, you have a gauge saying an approximate of the remaining cards, so you know if the reshuffle is close or not.

No, there's a literal gauge graphic on the left of the draw pile (at least on mobile) that shows how full/empty the deck is.

There are 110 cards (12 of each eight colors, 14 locomotives). Then you know how many cards are on everyone's hands, just subtract the total plus 5 (5 face up cards) from 110, and you will get how many cards are still in the deck.

The train cards and routes deck both have one.
On Mobile (not sure if their placement varies on desktop) is on the left part of each deck.
It looks like a literal glass thermometer or something similar that is filled with a colored liquid (blue for trains, orange/yellow for tickets) and it gets lower as cards get drawn. It is basically sitting on top of the deck on the left side.

Note that a bug/suggestion request was already made and replied by developper (
Thoun) :
https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=72565 
But like I said in it, we can't not see the exact value of the cards in the hidden pickaxe : It is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more...
But
Thoun replies : When you play physically to the game, looking at it, without moving the card on this deck, you can't know exactly how many are in it...

oh thanks you.. maybe its just me but i find we dont really see a difference if the pack is full or have 5 cards.. i feel the height of number of card should be more easy to notice if its 100 cards remains or only 5..
but maybe its just me.

Huh, I see a big difference. Maybe you still aren't seeing the right thing? Maybe someone can link some images and highlight it or something.
