The Central Railway is one of the largest of the 16 zones of Indian Railways.〔http://www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/view_section.jsp?lang=0&id=0,1,304,366,533,1007,1012〕 Its headquarters is in Mumbai at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (formerly Victoria Terminus). It includes the first passenger railway line in India, which opened from Bombay to Thane on April 16, 1853. The central railway covers a large part of the state of Maharashtra and small part of Southern Madhya Pradesh and North-Eastern Karnataka. The railway zone was formed on November 5, 1951 by grouping several government-owned railways, including the Great Indian Peninsula Railway, the Scindia State Railway of the former princely state of Gwalior, Nizam State Railway, Wardha Coal State Railway and the Dholpur Railways.〔Rao, M.A. (1988). ''Indian Railways'', New Delhi: National Book Trust, p.42〕〔(Welcome to Central Railways – Construction > Projects )〕 The Central Railway zone formerly included large parts of Madhya Pradesh and part of southern Uttar Pradesh, which made it the largest railway zone in India in terms of area, track mileage and staff. These areas became the new West Central Railway zone in April 2003. The Central Railway(erstwhile GIPR) General Manager's official residence 'Glen Ogle'-a Grade II B heritage bungalow, is located on Bhausaheb Hire Marg(Mt. Plesant road) adjacent to the Maharashtra Chief minister's official residence 'Varsha' in Malabar hill in Mumbai. ==Major Routes of Central Railway== * Main/Long Routes of Central Railway * * Mumbai CST – Dadar – Kurla – Thane – Diva – Kalyan – kasara - Manmad – Jalgaon – Bhusawal – Akola – Wardha – Nagpur * * Mumbai CST – Dadar – Kurla – Thane – Diva - Kalyan – Neral –Karjat - Lonavala – Pune * * Pune – Daund – Solapur – Wadi - Tandur * * Pune – Satara – Sangli – Miraj – Kolhapur * * Miraj – Pandharpur – Kurduvadi – Osmanabad – Latur – Latur Road * * Ballharshah - majri jn - Sevagram(formerly Wardha East Jn.) - Nagpur - Amla - Itarsi * Shorter/Branch routes of Central Railway are * * Mumbai CST-Vadala-King Circle * * Mumbai CST-Vadala-Kurla-Vashi-Panvel * * Thane-Vashi * * Daund-Manmad * * Bhusawal-Khandwa * * Amaravati - Narkher * * Diva-Panvel-Roha * * Panvel-Karjat * * Khopoli-Karjat * * Diva-Bhiwandi Road-Vasai Road * * Badnera-Amravati * * Daund-Baramati * * Puntamba-Shirdi * * Chalisgaon-Dhule * * Pachora-Jamner (NG) * * Pulgaon-Arvi (NG) * * Murtijapur-Yavatml (NG) * * Murtijapur-Achalapur (NG) * * Jalamb-Khamgaon * * majri jn - pimpalkutti 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Central Railway zone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
