Call 'Baby Simran' to track trains
Commuters now no longer need to depend on muffled rail announcements for train delays. They can just dial a number and get the information themselves.
The Indian Railways is about to redefine rail travel by devising a new satellite-based technology to help commuters waiting at stations to track down the exact location of their train. The project will first be launched for Rajdhani Express.
Called Baby Simran, the official name of the project is Satellite Imaging for Rail Navigation (SIMRAN), an ambitious project the ministry has been working on for four years.
A top official said, "The project will be launched soon. As part of it, four trains will initially be installed with GPS."
