Caution

No services currently exist to track train locations online or via any app in Bangladesh. Tracking is only possible through SMS. Any app on the Play Store or App Store claiming to provide live train locations without SMS is likely fake. Be cautious and do not share your personal data. Visit the official Bangladesh Railway website for more information.
