Railways have introduced a new facility which is bound to be very useful to the public. If anyone visits this site website , they can see all the trains running at that time all over India on a map.
They are shown as arrows moving on lines representing railway tracks
between various cities.
You can enlarge any portion of the map and you can focus on one line such as Bangalore-Mysore. The Bangalore-Mysore line at 6.10 PM on Saturday, 22-12-12 is shown in the picture. The various arrows are various trains going in the direction of the arrow. There are 5 arrows between Mysore and Bangalore representing, sequentially, Mysore-Bangalore Rajyarani Express, Mysore-Bangalore Mayiladudurai Express, Mysore-Bangalore Passenger, Bangalore-Mysore Passenger and Mysore-Bangalore Yashwantpur Express You can also see a train approaching Mysore on the Arasikere line and 5 trains near Bangalore on other lines. The blue colour of the arrows indicate that they are on time (meaning, they are not more than 15 minutes later than they should be). If they are more than 15 minutes overdue, they are shown as red arrows. If you click on the arrows, you will get more details on that train. The information on all the trains is updated every 5 minutes and so you can see the arrows (representing the trains) actually move. The website states that all information is a few minutes out of date because of security reasons, but this should not be a problem for most of the public.
