There are around 10,000 trains operating in India everyday and currently 6,500 of them are being tracked by this system. This system has a colour code to show if the train is running on time or is delayed. A train with Red color code is delayed and with a blue code is the one on scheduled time. Clicking on the train shows you a pop-up with further information about the current location, previous and next station, schedule status, etc.
The maps service can be found at http://railradar.trainenquiry.com/
This website is very user friendly and the maps respond fast as it is directly based on the Google Maps API. Unlike most of the other government websites this service is interactive and has very nice colour scheme and design. This is one of the important initiative Railways has taken to bring their services online. A very good news for Indian train passengers which will greatly help frequent travelers who depend on Railways.
