RailRadar, Website launched by the Railways to track the position of train

RailRadar, the new online application was launched by the Indian Railways on 10 October 2012, to find out the location of 6500 trains on real-time basis on Google Map. It can be accessed from the website trainenquiry.com.

To identify the train running status that whether the train is running on-time or late from its schedule, color codes have been created. Blue color is a code for trains running on time and red markers are the symbol of trains running behind schedule. On clicking upon the name of the train, the map will show the route along with stoppages and running status of the train on real time-basis.

At present, out of 10000 trains that depart from different stations of India 6500 trains would be visible on the map at present. This website is full of different features and allows tracking the exact location of the train across the country apart from providing its running status.

After spotting the train once, one can also learn the trains departure time from previous two crossed stations and the distance of the next two stations from the trains’ location along with the expected time of its arrival. The initiative is a pilot project and soon it will be made a permanent feature.
