Railway transportation has been impacted by Information Technology (IT) in a positive manner mostly. This is because the real-time locations, the departure timings and destination reaching timings are calculated, estimated and provided to the customers for more convenience. There is the use of a cloud technology through which there is the gathering of essential data about the trains in different routes.
