Mumbai’s Western Railway is leading India’s railways into a sustainable future by harnessing the wind energy from moving trains with innovative vertical-axis wind turbines.

Kumkum Dongre from Madhya Pradesh turned her childhood fascination for trains into her lifelong dream and became one of India's first female locopilots, commanding the country's first all-woman crew on a goods' train.

Indeed, this year, the national transporter had a long list of successes, including the fastest train, Asia's second longest bridge as well as the least number of railroad accidents.

If this project, which is set to be spread over 4000 square feet, is successful, the IRCTC will replicate the model in cities other than Mumbai.

“The train was running at the speed of about 50km/hour. We were just 50-60 meters away when I saw the bridge collapsing. It happened right in front of me.”

IRCTC implemented a number of initiatives in 2018, in an attempt to make train travel smooth, fun and secure for passengers.

Mumbai Central will receive natural, soothing light, courtesy these sun tubes, feels the Railways.

For over ten years, 53-year-old Yatin Naik has been dedicatedly foraging through the station area and railway tracks of Andheri, to collect abandoned wallets by pickpockets after procuring the cash.

The decision was taken after a trial run, where the railway supervisors found a 66 per cent increment in earnings from penalties and fines by the end of the day!

Currently, the Western-Harbour Line services, operated by the Central Railways run along CSMT-Andheri, CSMT-Panvel and Panvel-Andheri routes.
