RailRadar uses Google maps to track trains in real-time. Railways operate more than 10,000 trains everyday but currently the RailRadar can spot about 6500 trains, but will be expanded in the future.
The system enables a colour code method as trains highlighted in blue indicate those that are running on time while the red markers indicate the trains that are delayed or behind schedule.The official said to know the current running status of the train, one can either enter the name of the train, or the train number if you remember it, and the system will tell you whether that particular train is delayed or running on time.
The new website has many new features which will not only provide the running status of trains but will also help you track the exact location of trains across the country.
You can also click on the train to see and a small pop-up will appear showing what time the train started, where it currently is and the status of the train.
how it works--Information provided through this website is collected by CRIS(Centre for Railway information systems) in near real time from all cross the country.
