So to track live position of this train on 20th June till time 23.59, you will fill 'Journey Day' option as 'today'. Suppose train becomes late and you are tracking the same train after 23.59. As you know after time 23.59 date will change to 21st June, you will select your journey day option as 'yesterday'.

Yesterday (Time: 00.00 -23.59)----->Today (Time: 00.00 -23.59)<-----Tomorrow (Time: 00.00 -23.59)
