Mumbai: Central Railway is set to accept a newly manufactured 15-car EMU rake at Wadi before dispatching it to Kurla for further deployment, sources told The Free Press Journal. The move is expected to strengthen Mumbai’s suburban rail network, which continues to witness heavy passenger traffic across major corridors.
