Central railway marks 2025 as a milestone year of heritage performance and transformation

MUMBAI: Central Railway marked 2025 as a milestone year, combining heritage, performance and forward-looking transformation across its network. The year also commemorated 100 years of electrification, recalling the first electric train run from Victoria Terminus (now Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus) to Coorla (now Kurla) on the Harbour Line in 1925, a defining moment that began a century of modern rail progress in the region, said CR Chief Spokesperson Swapnil Nila.

Passenger services and operational performance remained strong throughout the year.
