As Indian Railway Dataset is not thoroughly available, we thought of creating one and give it to the world! There is no missing data in this dataset.

Content

We have made this dataset using some info from data.gov.in, and added distance along with another table train_info, and much more cleaning. There are 2 files in this dataset train_info and train_schedule. train_schedule has more than 186000 rows while train_info consists of 11114 rows.
