Churchgate (station code: CCG) is the southern terminus on the Western Line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway.

The fortress was eventually demolished in order to create new spaces for the expansion of the city, in 1860s.

Later the Churchgate railway station was built in 1870 in close proximity to the position of the demolished gate, and hence got its name.

Its structure resembled an English inn, and was compared by the Bombay Guardian to a Swiss chalet.

Around two decades later the grand BB&CIR headquarters were built just opposite the station, completed by 1899.

In 1920, the Government of Bombay issued order to the BB&CI railway to hand over the section of rail line between Churchgate and Colaba, to allow unrestricted access for the planned Backbay reclamation.

A foot-over bridge was provided, and the level crossing practically closed for vehicles and pedestrians.

[6] From the midnight of 31 December, Colaba station ceased to be a terminus and the line then terminated at Churchgate from the New Year's Day of 1931.

The station underwent its final reconstruction in mid 1950s, converting the humble station to a seven storied building, offering better amenities like booking offices, sanitation facilities, and above all, bringing all the scattered offices of the railway to a single building.

Millions of city dwellers residing in the suburbs alight at this station to get to their offices in the business districts of south Mumbai.
