Western Railway proposes to install a terminus at Jogeshwari

22 Nov 2021 CW Team

The Western Railway has shared a plan with the ministry to install a terminus at Jogeshwari, essentially to run Tejas class trains and privately run trains.

Almost all long-distance trains of Indian Railways operate with locomotives.

If platforms have a dead-end, a locomotive has to be connected at the rear end of the train to draw the coaches out of the platform once all the passengers deboard.

A senior Western Railway official told the media that they propose to operate Tejas class types, which are like suburban trains that can be run from both ends of the rakes, and there will be no requirement to connect locomotives to pull in and pull out a train from the platform. Railways aim to operate private trains, and thus a proposal has been given to the Railway Board for running trains from Jogeshwari.

In Mumbai, WR runs long-distance train services from BDTS, Mumbai Central and Dadar, but these have become saturated. A senior official told the media that presently, there is a goods shed that handles freight traffic such as cement and even food grains.

Without disturbing freight works, Jogeshwari can be improved into a terminus for Rs 70 crore. The proposal is to have an island platform that will enable the handling of two trains together. Additionally, there will be one stabling line.

Another senior official told the media that they will await orders from the Railway Board when it comes to resolving which trains to be run from Jogeshwari. The terminus will be made on the east side of the tracks –between Jogeshwari and Ram Mandir suburban stations.
