Mumbai local train accident
The Mumbai Suburban Railway is an offshoot of the first railway to be built by the British in India, and is also the oldest railway system in Asia. The first train ran between Bori Bunder and Thane, a distance of 34 km, on 16 April 1853 at 3:35 pm.
The 14-coach train took 1.25 hr to complete the 34 km journey, with a halt at Bhandup to refill the train's water tanks.Since 1991, it has been expanded rapidly. The Bombay Railway History Group has been striving to document railway heritage along this line.Mumbai Suburban Railway consists of exclusive inner suburban railway lines augmented by commuter rail on main lines serving outlying suburbs to serve the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Spread over 465 kilometres (289 mi), the suburban railway operates 2,342 train services and carries more than 7.5 million commuters daily. By annual ridership (2.64 billion), the Mumbai Suburban Railway is one of the busiest commuter rail systems in the world[2] and it has some of the most severe overcrowding in the world. Trains run from 4 AM until 1 AM, and some trains also run up to 2:30 AM.
