In India, millions of people everyday use railways to commute. Some travel for work, some for business and some for pleasure. The Indian Railways caters the needs and requirement of a huge population of India and also serves as lifeline for the Indian economy. Every day, tons of freight is carried by the Indian Railways network from various points to different destination. Since the railways were introduced in India by the British government back in 19^th century, the Indian Railways has now evolved to one of the largest rail networks in the world with some of the most advanced systems used for running the network smoothly and efficiently. The Indian Railways covers a network of more than 63000 kilometers of railway tracks connecting more than 6000 railway stations all over the country. The Indian Railways is not limited to the metros, but it also connects some of the remotest places of India to the mainland such as eastern states.

One of the most sophisticated systems used by Indian railways is the passenger reservation system. This system was introduced in 1985, but then it was not automated hence was not very much successful. After the introduction of automated passenger reservation system, now the passengers can book a ticket for their journey for any part of the country from any part of the country.

With the official website of Indian railways, the passengers can easily get different important information about their trains and journey in every less time and very easily. The website gives information about various trains running between two stations, the running schedule of the trains and Indian railways seat availability in any train for a particular date. They can also book their tickets from the website for any train to any destination. The website offers different payment options like net banking, credit and debit cards, etc. for convenient booking of the tickets.

In addition to online reservation, the Indian Railways also offer PNR status service too. The pnr status helps the passengers in getting information about the status of their booking anytime. In case of a booking in waiting list, the pnr status gives the status of confirmation of the seat in the train.  There is also a mobile pnr service offered by Indian railways that helps passengers in knowing their pnr status on mobile easily.

Along with these services, there are also many other services offered by Indian Railways such as cloak room at the railway stations, waiting rooms, retiring rooms, etc. In addition to that, passengers can also order their food online during their journey, and they can get their order delivered to their berth in very less time.
