Live Train Location Pakistan — Real-Time GPS Tracking 2026
TrackTrain.pk provides Pakistan's most comprehensive live train location service, updated every 30 seconds from official Pakistan Railways GPS data. Whether you are waiting at Lahore Junction for an arriving family member, checking from home whether your overnight Tezgam is running on time, or monitoring a shipment via rail — this page gives you the current position of every active train on the national network, right now.
Why Pakistanis Use Live Train Tracking
- Station pickup planning: Pakistan Railways trains regularly run 30–120 minutes late. Checking live position before leaving home means you arrive at the station when the train actually arrives — not when it was scheduled.
- Monitoring elderly or children traveling alone: Parents and families routinely use live tracking to monitor overnight journeys and confirm their loved one's train is moving safely along the route.
- Avoiding platform waits in extreme heat: Karachi and Multan station platforms in summer can reach 45°C. Knowing the train is 2 hours late means 2 hours of comfort at home instead.
- Logistics and cargo coordination: Businesses shipping goods via Pakistan Railways freight use live data to coordinate receiving teams at the destination.
- Travel blog and social media: Travel enthusiasts use live speed data to share journey updates — particularly for scenic routes like the Jaffar Express through the Bolan Pass.
Which Trains Can Be Tracked Live?
All major Pakistan Railways express and mail trains with GPS equipment transmit live data, including: Green Line Express, Tezgam Express, Business Express, Karakoram Express, Khyber Mail, Jaffar Express, Shalimar Express, Awam Express, Hazara Express, Millat Express, Allama Iqbal Express, and dozens more. Older passenger trains on secondary lines may not transmit GPS data continuously — the live list only shows trains with active signals.
Pakistan Railways Network Coverage
Live tracking covers all four provinces: Punjab (Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan, Faisalabad), Sindh (Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur), KPK (Peshawar, Nowshera, Attock), and Balochistan (Quetta, Sibi, Jacobabad). The network spans 7,791 km with over 472 passenger stations. Live GPS coverage is strongest on the main Karachi–Lahore–Peshawar main line and good on the Karachi–Quetta route. Some branch lines in Balochistan and rural Punjab may have intermittent signal gaps.
Understanding Train Delay Status
Delays on Pakistan Railways are common, especially on long-haul routes where small delays at early stations compound across dozens of stops. The live tracker shows accumulated delay in real time — if a train was 30 minutes late at Multan and lost another 20 minutes before Lahore, you will see 50 minutes late on the dashboard. ETA predictions at upcoming stations are recalculated every update to account for the current delay, giving you the most accurate arrival estimate possible. For the full timetable with scheduled times, use the daily schedule page.

Select a train from the list above or type its name or number in the search box, then click it to open the live tracking view. You will see the train's real-time GPS position on an interactive map, current speed in km/h, delay status (on-time / late / early), and updated ETAs for every upcoming station stop.
Our tracking uses official Pakistan Railways GPS data refreshed every 30 seconds to 1 minute. Position accuracy is typically within 100–500 metres depending on the train's GPS equipment and cellular signal along the route. ETAs are recalculated every update cycle using the train's current speed and accumulated delay, and are typically accurate to within ±5 minutes.
A train may not appear in the live list if: (1) It has not yet departed its origin station, (2) The GPS transmitter on that locomotive is temporarily offline, (3) The train is not scheduled to run on today's date, or (4) There is a temporary data gap on that section of track. Check the Schedule page to confirm the train runs today, then try refreshing after a few minutes.
Yes — live tracking is active 24/7. Overnight trains such as the Tezgam Express, Khyber Mail, and Green Line Express are commonly tracked during late-night and early-morning hours. The GPS system does not stop at night, so you can monitor your train's progress at any hour.
Click on your train in the list above and check the Delay Status field. It shows the current delay in minutes (e.g., '45 min late') or confirms 'On Time'. The delay is live — if the train catches up or falls further behind, this number updates automatically. You can also check from the homepage: the Live Trains Dashboard widget shows delay status for all trains currently running.
The speed shown (km/h) is the train's actual GPS-measured ground speed at the moment the data was last refreshed. When a train is stopped at a station, the speed shows 0. Express trains on the main Karachi–Lahore corridor typically cruise at 100–130 km/h on open track. If you want to specifically check and share a train's live speed, use our dedicated Train Speed Checker tool.
This can happen when the GPS unit on the locomotive loses signal in a tunnel or in areas with poor cellular coverage — the last known position is held until a new fix arrives. It can also occur if the train has changed locomotives mid-journey. Positions typically correct themselves within 1–2 minutes once signal is restored. The timestamp on each update shows how recent the data is.
Yes — open the train's live tracking page and copy the URL from your browser's address bar. Share that link with anyone; they will see the same live tracking view. This is especially useful for sharing with family waiting at the destination station so they know exactly when to leave home for pickup.
'Find My Train' uses your own phone's GPS to detect which train you are currently on board — it matches your location against all live trains and identifies the closest one automatically. Regular live tracking shows you a specific train's location on a map. Use Find My Train if you are already on board and want to share your journey's live position with someone else.
Yes — Eid Special trains are tracked as soon as they begin service. They appear in the live list alongside regular trains. However, because Eid Specials are temporary, they may not have pre-loaded route data in the schedule viewer. Their live GPS position and speed will still be visible once they depart. Always check the live dashboard on the day of travel rather than relying solely on advance schedule information during Eid periods.
