IndiaRail Info is an interesting Google Maps mashup that helps you visualize the current geographical location of any train in India. Just type train name or train number and check its exact location on the map.
India Rail Info has a database of all trains and railway stations in India
For example, the Bandra Garib Rath Express (2910) has crossed Kota junction at 8:23pm IST. Unfortunately this site does not extrapolate this data to guess the location between two junctions, so the train is still shown at Kota. Thanks Info-Madness.

Hi, Thanks for pointing the link. I came across your blog while planning my upcoming India trip. It is indeed a sophisticated website. Hope we had a unified rail website for Europe, as well. Keep blogging!!!

Thanks Amit,
What surprises me is that how come such sites are unnoticed and don’t get coverage in media?

Thanks Amit for this very useful link. I always have problems with Official site of Indian Railways which either responds slow or not at all. Also, thanks to the creators of indiarailinfo.com. Nice work.
