How do I check live train running status by train number?

Enter the 5-digit train number in the box above and tap Track Live. RailTC shows where the train is right now, how late it is, the next halt with expected arrival time, platform numbers and the full route timeline, plus a live map.

Where is my train right now?

The Live Route Map pins the current position of your train between the last reported station and the next halt, and the status card tells you the last event, for example "Departed from Ranchi at 18:40". Refresh runs automatically every minute.

Is RailTC live train status free? Do I need to log in?

Yes, live train running status on RailTC is free and needs no login or app install. It works in the browser on any phone; the RailTC Android app adds one-tap access.

What is NTES and how is RailTC different from IRCTC or NTES live status?

NTES (National Train Enquiry System) is Indian Railways’ official running-status feed. RailTC reads the official feed and adds a live map, station coordinates, a readable route timeline, honest "yet to start" and "arrived" states, and a connection-risk check for your onward train. RailTC is not affiliated with Indian Railways or IRCTC.

Why does the status say "Yet to start" or "Arrived" instead of a live position?

Before departure the train has no live position, so RailTC shows it standing at its origin with the scheduled departure. After it reaches the last station the journey is complete and the card says "Arrived". Neither state is a guess about the train moving.

Can I track a train from my PNR?

Yes. Run a PNR analysis on RailTC and tap Track Live on the ticket card; Track Train opens with your train number prefilled.

What if live data is unavailable for my train?

When the live feed is delayed or missing, RailTC shows a schedule-based position and clearly labels it as an estimate, not as confirmed late or on time. Trains that do not run on the selected day are called out instead of being invented.
