“Instead of waiting for the present Railway Help Line to get connected,this advancement seems to be an improvement.
A joint team of railways and IIT-Kanpur has developed a technology — the real-time train running information system — which enables a mobile user to know the exact location of a train.
One has to type the train number and SMS it to 09415139139 or 09664139139 for knowing the exact location of a train on real-time basis, a railway ministry official said. ”
“Not all premier trains are covered yet. Some of the trains covered under the project included Mumbai Rajdhani, Howrah Rajdhani, Dibrugarh Rajdhani, Sealdah Duronto and Shatabdi trains for Bhopal, Kanpur and Amritsar,” the official said.
