The Central Railway will operate a special traffic and power block in the early hours of Sunday (October 19) to dismantle the old foot overbridge (FOB) at Kanjurmarg station. The block will be in effect from Saturday midnight to Sunday 5 am across all lines – up, down, fast, slow, and the 5th and 6th lines, between Vikhroli and Bhandup on the Kurla-Kalyan section.

According to Central Railway officials, the operation involves dismantling and de-launching the ‘N’-type truss girders of the Kalyan-end FOB using a 100 MT road crane. The work, officials said, is essential for the upkeep and safety of railway infrastructure.

During the block, several suburban train services on the Central line will be affected. Four local services will remain cancelled – the Thane-Kurla local departing Thane at 11.40 pm on October 18, the Thane-CSMT local at 4.04 am on October 19, and two CSMT-Thane locals departing at 11.38 pm on October 18 and 00.24 am on October 19.

Additionally, four CSMT-Thane locals departing between 11 pm and 11.55 pm on October 18 will be short-terminated at Kurla, while the Dombivli-CSMT local leaving Dombivli at 10.18 pm on October 18 will terminate at Thane. In the reverse direction, two early-morning services on October 19 will short-originate – the Kurla–Titwala local, scheduled to depart Vidyavihar at 4.45 am, will instead start from Thane at 5.09 am, and the Thane-CSMT local at 4.16 am will begin from Kurla at 4.42 am.

Train movements between Matunga and Mulund will also be diverted during the block. Down-slow trains will run on the down-fast line, skipping halts at Vidyavihar, Kanjurmarg, and Nahur. Up-slow trains will use the up-fast line and will not stop at Nahur, Kanjurmarg, and Vidyavihar.

“These blocks are essential for infrastructure upkeep and safety,” said a Central Railway official, requesting passengers to bear with the inconvenience.
