I tried 6 different cards US-issued cards --- from Citibank, Chase, Capital One, AMEX --- and not one of them worked. You can check the lists of bank cards that subscribe to Verified by Visa and Mastercard Securecode to see if your bank card is listed, but be forewarned that the above large US-issuing banks ones aren't subscribers.
That said, I find Cleartrip to be an excellent info resource for both trains and planes.
In addition to
