Gate TrackLive railway gate status, before you reach the crossing.
See whether level crossings near you are open or closed. Status comes from people at the gate, from trains tracked by passengers on board, and from the train timetable. With the app open, you are warned within 1 km of a closed gate.
A train passes. Everyone waits, not knowing for how long.
Gate Track tells you before you get there.
53,000+level crossings across India.
Every one of them in Gate Track. Search yours by name, place or landmark, or find the gates around you.
Live railway gate status
Look up any level crossing in India and see its latest status. Most gates only get a status when someone nearby reports it, a train is being tracked, or the timetable expects a train, so “No recent reports” is common.

Get warned before you reach the gate
The app shows every gate around you on a map and warns you within 1 km of a closed or closing one while it is open. Star the crossings on your daily route to get an alert when they close.
The map shows each nearby level crossing in the colour of its status, with how far away it is and when it was last reported.
Warned within 1 km
With the app open, you get a warning when a gate within 1 km is closed or closing.
Favourite crossings
Star the gates on your daily route to get an alert the moment they close.
Keeps working offline
Gates within 50 km and the map around you are saved on your phone for a week.
One tap tells everyone
Waiting at a gate? Mark it open, closing or closed. A fresh report outranks every prediction for 20 minutes and shows as “Community verified” to everyone nearby.
Asked when you are there
Stop near a gate and the app asks “Is the gate closed right now?”. Answer with YES or NO.
Report from the lock screen
Gate alerts carry “Still closed” and “Now open” buttons, so you can update a gate without opening the app.
Know where a status comes from
Every gate page says whether its status is community verified, verified by live train tracking, or a schedule prediction, and how old it is.
Recent reports by date
Each gate lists what people reported and when. Pick a date to look back.
Fix a gate
Report a wrong name or misplaced pin, or that a gate is closed for good or has an overbridge. Missing gates can be added too.
Made for day and night, in your language
Choose light or dark, or let the app switch to dark at 6 pm and back at 6 am. Pick from five colour themes, including India Tricolor and Saffron Glow.
Light, dark or automatic
Five colour themes: India Tricolor, Saffron Glow, Emerald Eco, Ashoka Navy and Classic Blue.
Reports only arrive once someone is already waiting. Gate Track also watches the trains themselves: live, from passengers on board, and on paper, from the timetable.
Inside the train?
Riding a train? Let the gates ahead know it is coming.
Switch on “Inside the train?” on the map. The app follows your train along the track and shares its position every 5 seconds. Gates just ahead of it turn “Likely closing” and then “Likely closed” for everyone nearby, marked “Verified by live tracking”.
Your journey, live
Your train's speed, the next stop with its distance and arrival time, and how far you have travelled since you boarded.
Trains on everyone's map
People nearby see moving trains on the map, up to 25 km around them, with an arrow when one is just off screen.
Only on a real track, only while it is on
It starts only when you are near a railway line. Sharing stops when you switch it off or close the app.
Quiet while you ride
Gate warnings and report prompts pause during the ride, and on Android a notification shows that tracking is on.

Schedule predictions
When nobody is reporting, the timetable fills in.
Gate Track carries the Indian Railways timetable and works out when each train should pass the gates near you, including express trains that do not stop there.
Likely closing, likely closed
A gate shows “Likely closing” up to 15 minutes before a train is due and “Likely closed” around the time it passes, for gates within 3.5 km of you.
The next three hours
Each gate page lists the trains expected in the next three hours as time ranges, with the station they are timed from.
Works without internet
The timetable is stored on your phone and updated in the background, so predictions keep working offline.
Always labelled as an estimate
Trains run late, so predictions are marked “Schedule prediction”, and a report from someone at the gate always wins.
Also in the app
Add a missing gate
Drop a pin on the exact spot and name it. The Gate Track team checks each suggestion before it goes live.
Report a gate problem
Wrong name, misplaced pin, or a gate that is closed for good or replaced by an overbridge. Follow each report in the app.

Questions about railway gate status
How Gate Track works, what it shows and what it does with your data.
Gate Track is a free Android app and website that shows whether railway level crossings (railway gates) in India are open or closed. Status comes from people at the gate, people riding the train, and the train timetable, so you can decide whether to wait or take another road.
Search for a gate on this page by its name, place or a nearby landmark, or use "Near me" to list gates around you. The app shows every nearby gate on a map with its latest status and when it was last reported.
It uses three sources, in this order. A recent report from someone at the gate counts for 20 minutes. A train being tracked by a rider marks the gates just ahead of it as likely closing or likely closed. Otherwise the timetable gives an estimate. The app labels each status with its source: "Community verified", "Verified by live tracking" or "Schedule prediction".
If you are travelling by train, switch on "Inside the train?" on the map. The app follows your train along the track and shows its speed, the next stop and an estimated arrival time. It also shares the train's position every 5 seconds, so people waiting at the gates ahead can see the train coming. It only starts when you are near a railway track, gate alerts pause while you ride, and it stops when you switch it off or close the app.
The app carries the Indian Railways timetable. For gates within 3.5 km of you, it works out when each train should pass, including trains that do not stop nearby. A gate shows "Likely closing" up to 15 minutes before a train is due and "Likely closed" around the time it passes, and the gate page lists the expected passing times for the next 3 hours. These are estimates, because trains run late, so a fresh report from someone at the gate always takes priority.
While the app is open, it warns you when you are within 1 km of a gate that is closed or closing, at most once every 10 minutes for each gate. You can also star the crossings you use every day to get an alert when they close.
Yes, partly. The app keeps gates within 50 km and the map within 15 km of you for up to a week, and the timetable is stored on your phone, so schedule predictions keep working offline. Reports you make without a connection are sent when you are back online.
More than 53,000 level crossings across India are in the database. If a gate is missing, you can suggest it from the app by placing a pin on the exact spot. Suggestions are checked by the Gate Track team before they appear for everyone.
No account is needed. The app gives you an anonymous ID, and a display name is optional. Your location is sent when you report a gate and, while "Inside the train?" is on, as your train's position. You can delete your data at any time from Settings.
Gate Track is free on Android through Google Play, with no subscription. The iPhone app is not available yet.
