Your PNR,as the railway records it.
Ten digits from your ticket, one live request to the source. Every field is shown exactly as returned, labelled with where it came from and when — never a guess, never an invented confirmation chance.

Read what came back
Status, coach and berth, train and journey. Every field carries its source and the time it was retrieved.
Every field, with its source on it
A result is the reservation record as the source holds it: current status per passenger, coach and berth where allotted, the train and journey, and the retrieval time. Where the source did not send a field, the record says “not returned”. The specimen here is generated from the labelled development fixture — it is design material, not a real reservation.
One booking often holds several passengers in different states — this specimen shows a party of three: one confirmed, one RAC, one still waitlisted.

Real records, checked live
Trakline asks for your reservation at the moment you check and shows exactly what comes back.
- Live at check
- Asked the moment you press RunEach check asks for the current record. A repeat within a minute is marked as the last minute's read.
- Time-stamped
- Every result shows when it was retrievedThe retrieval time sits beside the status, in IST, so an old answer never passes for a new one.
- Never estimated
- A missing field reads “Not returned”Nothing is predicted, filled in or rounded up. Confirmation odds are never shown.

Pre-booking
Plan a journey before you book. The form is ready today; it fills with live availability the day a timetable and inventory source is connected.
Accuracy
A public ledger of how results matched outcomes. It opens with zero records and earns every entry — nothing on it will ever be invented.
07 · Where it gets used
Legible under stress
A crowded platform in harsh daylight, or a moving berth at night — one hand free, low attention. The interface is built to be read in one glance, with day and night faces that follow your device.
Installable as an app, so the check stays one tap away for the days you keep re-checking the same ticket before the chart.
Asked before you ask
Is this affiliated with IRCTC or Indian Railways?
No. Trakline is an independent product. It requests your reservation record from a verified railway data source and shows exactly what came back.
Do I need an account?
No. A check needs only the 10-digit PNR. An account adds one thing: a watchlist that syncs between your devices. It stays optional.
Is my PNR stored or logged?
PNRs and passenger names are never written to our logs. Your PNR is used to make the request; recent checks stay on your device and you can clear them any time.
Why does a field say “not returned”?
Because the source did not send it. The product never fills a gap with a guess — it fails closed: no source, no claim.
Does it predict my confirmation chances?
No, and it never will here. Invented odds are the one thing this product exists to not show you. You get the record, its source, and its retrieval time.
Where does the data come from?
From a verified railway source, named on every result with the time of retrieval. Until one is connected, every check resolves to an explicit unavailable state — by design.
When should I check?
The reservation chart, prepared about four hours before departure, decides waitlisted and RAC tickets. Save the PNR to your watchlist and re-check as the chart approaches — in Indian Standard Time, everywhere.
