In light of the PNR crisis, the following changes are coming to the site. We shall slowly completely move away from dependence on PNRs. We cannot waste any more time on this fruitless endeavour. We have NO choice in this matter. The Trip Diary is changing to a free-form "No PNR" format.
.
1. You need to be logged-in to Register a Trip.
.
...
more...

2. Registering means you just say: "I am travelling in: (train number)" and the Trip gets started. The Trip appears on the Home Page.
.
3. Anyone else travelling in the SAME train at the SAME time shares the Trip Diary with you.
.
4. No Manual Updates. Your phone's GPS needs to work to register updates.
.
5. You will be able to share the Trip with co-passengers and ask them to join your Trip Diary.
.
6. Trip Diary will be integrated with Spottings.
.
7. The RailFan app will incorporate all the above changes.
.
Thanks.

Follow up:
In the face of the external PNR Crisis, some emergency changes have been rolled out for the Trip Diary.
.
1. PNRs are NOT required for Trip Diary any more. You can log a trip for ANY train, Locals, Unreserved travel, etc. Just click on "Start Trip", enter the Train Number and start logging!!!!
.
...
more...

2. You must ALREADY be at the station or inside the Train to start a Trip Diary. When you are inside the train or at the station, just click on "Start Trip", enter the Train Number/PF#, etc. to start the Trip. Once again, you cannot creates a trip in "advance". You create a trip while you are at the station waiting for the train, or are inside it.
.
3. No more manual updates to Train Location. You MUST have GPS, internet, or cell-towers to log train updates.
.
4. Thereafter, the Train will appear on your Home Page, and you may log the Trip.
.
5. At the end of the Trip, just click on "End Trip".
.
6. Spottings & Trips are now merged. You may Spot other trains while on a Trip, or just Spot trains. You may be on a Trip on Train A, and some other member may ALSO spot Train A. Both updates will be on the SAME blog.
.
In the coming days, Trips/Spottings will be integrated further into the site and the RailFan app to provide a much more simplified experience to staying in touch with members during your Trip.
.
Thanks for everyone's patience with the recent PNR hardship.
