spotted, which was waiting for its turn to get shunted to the yard by 36259 CLA (Kurla) WDS- 6AD. As we clear the points, we also cross a few trains, a WCAM- 3, and 16504 ED WDM- 3A. Meanwhile, we accelerate while crossing the suburban stations, and spot numerous rakes of various trains standing in the yards and the coaching yards, among which, the most prominent being a WCAM- 3 coupled 17057/ 17058 Secunderabad (SC)- Mumbai C.S.T.

Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus:
Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), formerly Victoria Terminus (VT), is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an historic railway station in Mumbai, India which serves as the headquarters of the Central Railways. Designed by Frederick William Stevens with influences from Victorian Italianate Gothic Revival architecture and traditional Mughal buildings, the station was built in 1887 in the Bori Bunder area of Bombay to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The new railway station was built on the location of the Bori Bunder Station. The station's name was changed to its present one in March 1996 and it is now known simply as CST (or VT/CSTM).
Bori Bunder (alternatively "Bori Bandar") was one of the areas along the Eastern shore line of Mumbai, India which was used as a storehouse for goods imported and exported from Mumbai. In the area's name, 'Bori' means sack and 'Bandar' means port or haven (in Persian); So Bori Bunder literally means a place where sacks are stored. In the 1850s, the Great Indian Peninsular Railway built its railway terminus in this area and the station took its name as Bori Bunder. On 16 April 1853 the Great Indian Peninsula Railway operated the historic first passenger train in India from Bori Bunder to Thane covering a distance of 34 km (21 mi), formally heralding the birth of the Indian Railways. The train between Bori Bunder and Thane was 57 minutes it was a distance of 35 km (22 mi) apart.
