Indian Railways started the first passenger train on April 16, 1853, from Bori Bunder to Thane covering a distance of 34 km. Since then, the day has been marked as the Indian Rail Transport Day.
Dance, drama, music, poetry and vocal renditions by various artists brought out the different emotions based on various historical episodes of the history of CSMT building, railways and the country. The 134-year-old CSMT complex has been lit up with around 1,100 lights, of which 450 lights have been replaced with new technology LED lights as the brightness of the old lights was decreased due to aging.
“CSMT is a pride of Indian Railways and entire railway fraternity. To celebrate the heritage and architecture of this building, we are staging a unique light and sound-cum-performance show on the backdrop of this building,” said Anil Kumar Lahoti, general manager of the Central Railway had said.
The CSMT is the first railway station in Maharashtra to get IGBC Gold certification in 2021. It is also a Eat Right certified station. The terminus handles about 48 pairs of long-distance trains and about 1,200 suburban trains on a daily basis.
