Mumbai: The Central Railway will carry out special traffic and power blocks at Kasara station on March 8 and 9, 2025, for the launching of a Road Over Bridge (ROB) girder (Phase I). The first block is scheduled for March 8 from 11:40 am to 12:10 pm, affecting both Up and Down North East lines within Kasara station limits. On March 9, two more blocks will be implemented—one from 11:40 am to 12:10 pm and another from 4:00 pm to 4:25 pm—impacting the same railway lines.
Due to these blocks, some suburban train schedules will be altered. The Kasara local (N-11), departing from CSMT at 9:34 am on both days, will be short-terminated at Asangaon. Similarly, the Kasara local (N-19), leaving CSMT at 1:10 pm on March 9, will be short-terminated at Kalyan.
Additionally, the CSMT-bound local (N-16), scheduled to leave Kasara at 11:10 am on both days, will short-originate from Asangaon. Likewise, the CSMT-bound local (N-26), set to depart Kasara at 4:16 pm on March 9, will short-originate from Kalyan.
