Depot highlights

- Shashank Rao

MUMBAI: A neglected patch of railway land strewn with debris between Jogeshwari and Ram Mandir stations is set for a major upgrade. Western Railway (WR) has identified this site—currently a dumping ground for muck, abandoned coaches, and rail material—as the location for Mumbai's first dedicated depot for the new-generation Vande Bharat and Vande Sleeper trains.

Senior WR officials confirmed that preliminary work on the project will begin shortly.

Once operational, the depot will initially cater to 5–10 trains and eventually expand to service and stable up to 50 high-speed trains.

These Vande series trains, designed to run at speeds of up to 160 kmph, are part of Indian Railways' push to modernize and reduce travel times on key intercity routes.
