 INTRODUCTION
Features:

1. Add Train:
o Allows the user to add a new train with details like

train number, name, source, destination, and

available seats.

2. Display All Trains:

o Displays all the trains stored in the binary file in a

well-formatted manner.

3. Search Train:
o Searches for a train by its train number and displays

the details if found.

4. Update Train:
o Updates the details of an existing train.

5. Delete Train:
o Deletes a train record by its train number.

6. Exit:
o Exits the program.
Steps to Run:
1. Save the code in a file named
railway_management.py

2. Run the script in a Python environment.

3. The program will create a binary file

trains.dat to store train details.

4. Use the menu-driven interface to manage train

records.

Notes:
 This project uses pickle for binary file
operations.

 Handle the trains.dat file carefully to avoid

accidental deletion.

 The program includes basic error handling for

robustness.
 What is python?
Python is a popular programming language.it was
created by Guido van Rossum, and released in
1991.
It is used for:
 Web development
 Software development
 Data analysis
 System scripting

What python can do?

 Python can be used on a server to create
web applications.
 Python can be used alongside software to
create workflows.
 Python can connect to database systems.it
can also read and modify files.
 Python can be used for rapid prototyping or
for production-ready software
development.
 What is Binary File?
 Binary files used to read and write text, images or audio and video file
formats. Binary files read and write the data in the form of bytes.
 Binary files are not in human readable format as information in binary
code. And many operations like search, update, insertion and deletion of
record can be done in binary file.
 Binary files can be open using open () and with statement. Various
modes of binary files we have discussed in starting of this chapter like
‘rb’, ‘wb’, ’ab’, ‘rb+’, ’wb+’ and ‘ab+’
 The binary file can be opened using open () function followed by the file
name and mode of opening.
File object= open (“file name”, “mode”)
 It can also be opened using with keyword where the user no need to
close the fie.
with open (“file name”, “mode”) as file object
 The Close () function is used to close the currently opened binary file.
File object.close ()

What is pickle Module?

 pickle module is use to convert the python objects like class, list, tuple,
dictionary into binary data in the forms of bytes. This process is called
pickling or serialization. So, data associated to these objects write into
binary file using the pickling.
 pickling is done using dump () method of pickle module:
pickle.dump(object, file-object)

 When the objects are stored into binary file, we can read it by converting
byte stream back into python objects this process is known as unpickle.
Unpickling is done by using the load () functions of pickle module.
object=pickle.load(file-object)

 The load () function reads byte streams from binary file convert and
returns the Object.

In conclusion, the Railway Management System
project highlights the importance of technology
in streamlining operations within the railway
sector. It demonstrates how efficient data
management can enhance ticket booking,
scheduling, and resource allocation. The system
ensures accuracy, saves time, and improves
passenger satisfaction. By integrating
automation and user-friendly interfaces, it also
emphasizes the role of innovation in modern
transportation. This project serves as a stepping
stone for further advancements in railway
management systems.
