Mumbai Port Trust Railway

Mumbai Port Trust Railway was commissioned on 1 January 1915.^[1] The railway line was being utilized for grain and fuel depots and feeding the containers at the Bombay Port.^[2]

The port trust lines were not just used for conveying cargo, but also carry passengers and troops during World War II.^[1] In the 1920s and 1930s, the Ballard Pier Mole station on the Mumbai Port Trust Railway line was a starting point for the Frontier Mail which is now known as the Golden Temple Mail.^[3]
