Mumbai CSMT–Howrah Duronto Express

Before the conversion of Mumbai CSMT to Kasara from 1500 V DC to 25 kV AC, it was hauled by WCAM-3 of KYN shed for that section.

There is some confusing because according to Indian Railways Permanent Way Manual (IRPWM) on the Indian Railways website or Indian Railway Institute of Civil Engineering website, the BG (Broad Gauge) lines have been classified into six groups ‘A’ to ‘E’ on the basis of the future maximum permissible speeds but it may not be same as current speed.

The train starts from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus every Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday.

The train starts from Howrah Junction every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Friday.

It takes about 7 mins at Kasara for addition of banker engine WAG-7 for the run through the ghats, which is removed at Igatpuri.
