Konkan Railway

The Konkan Railway is a railway operated by the Konkan Railway Corporation Limited, with its headquarters at CBD Belapur in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra. The first passenger train ran on Konkan railway tracks on March 20, 1993, between Udupi and Mangalore. During its initial years of operation in the mountainous Konkan region, a number of accidents prompted Konkan Railway to implement new technology. Anti-collision devices, the Sky Bus and roll-on/roll-off are several of the railway's innovations. The 741-km (461-mi) line connects the states of Maharashtra, Goa and Karnataka. The first train on the completed track was sent off on January 26, 1998. Konkan Railways has 34 stations present in Maharashtra.
