Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) presently has 18 platforms of which Platform no 8 to 18 cater exclusively for arrival / departure of mail/express and passenger trains.
After the arrival of any mail/express train on the platform and deboarding of passengers, the empty train is hauled by shunting engines to Wadi Bunder / Mazgaon yard for cleaning and maintenance to receiving / dispatch lines where they are further channeled and sent to different lines such as sick line, pit line, examination line, stabling line etc., as per the need of the coach or train.
Presently three lines ( Receiving / Dispatch (RD) line no 1, 2 and 4) are connected for shunting the empty train to Wadi Bunder / Mazgaon yard. The ongoing infrastructure work on the CSMT-Wadi Bunder section is being carried out to provide connectivity of receiving / dispatch line no 3 (RD line no 3) with line no 7. This connectivity will improve mobility of shunting of mail express trains to yard and ensure better, efficient and safer train operations since after the block, there will be a total of 4 lines at the Wadi Bunder yard to receive / dispatch trains from CSMT instead of the current 3 lines.
Block has been undertaken for the above infrastructure work till October 8, 2023.
