Mumbai Port Trust Railway (also known as the Bombay 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]
In 1936, the company owned 26 locomotives and 684 goods wagons.[4] The last steam locomotives were retired in 1976.[5]
