The Indian Railways has done some work for the passengers, at least with regards to use of technology. Long back, the computer based reservation system did change the way you booked your tickets, and then with IRCTC, you can get your travel tickets for all trains right from your home. While there are a large number of complaints with regards to website ticket bookings with IRCTC, but it cannot be denied that such online booking system is welcome. Adding one more feature to its hat, Indian Railways has introduced Rail Radar that will help you track the position of your train in real time with the help of Google Maps. You can track your train even on your Smartphone.
Not long before, the Indian Railways had introduced a website for train related enquires that is currently working and offers everything you would like to know about your train status. Train Enquiry remains one of the most visited online portals for tracking train status, and you cannot help but praise the Railways for this superb efforts. As the winters get close and the fog delays the trains, the website is offering a new section that will update the status ...
... of those trains that are delayed for fog and bad weather. You can log in the website and check the section for cancellations and new timings for trains.
If you are looking for some more real time train tracking, check the all new RailRadar. This is much more accurate way of tracking your train. As mentioned earlier, this service uses Google maps to track trains, which means you can be sure about the maps and timings offered with this service. When launched, RailRadar was available for 6500 trains, but it is expected that more trains will be soon added to the list.
While checking the service, look at the right side of the screen where you will find the option to look for trains. You need the train number just like you needed for the online portal, and RailRadar will show the exact position of the train. If the train is currently at halt at any station, it will show that status as well. You can check this service by entering the station name and finding the train you want to know about. To make things simpler, you have red and blue symbols, where the red shows that the train is delayed, while the latter shows that the train is on right time.
It is obvious that both RailRadar and Train Enquiry are great for passengers who often want to know the exact position of the train for varied reasons. Whether you want to order food on the train or want to invite a friend to meet you, there are no worries about knowing the train running status. For more information on RailRadar, you can check on the official website. When you want to track your train without waiting, just keep the train number handy. Kudos to the Indian Railways for a service that is worth all the time, money and efforts!
