RailRadar : Track your train on real time

Railways plays a vital role in every economy and if you are talking about Indian Railways you are talking about the backbone of the nation's public transport. Indian Railways runs more than 14,000 trains everyday carrying more than 11 million passengers & 1 million tonnes of freight daily.  Travelling by rail is the first preference of the every Indian. The nations biggest employer has just made it a little easier for rail travelers with a new web app called RailRadar, which uses Google Maps to track trains on a real-time basis. This is certainly welcome on one of the largest rail networks in the world that spans over 62,000 kms though the service is only available on 6,500 trains for now. To find out where your train is, simply go to the National Train Enquiry System's RailRadar portal and search for its name or number and RailRadar will spot it for you. You can also find trains by entering the name of the station. Blue highlights indicate trains that are on time while red means it's behind schedule. If you click on a train, it'll show its entire route from start to finish.
