Palghar railway station (station code: PLG) is a railway station on the Western Railway line of Mumbai Suburban Railway.
Palghar is the headquarters of the Palghar district in India's Maharashtra state, which comes under the Mumbai metropolitan region. Palghar is well served with EMU (Mumbai Locals) and MEMU trains, which provide direct connectivity to various parts of Mumbai, Thane and Panvel. Many long-distance trains also stop at Palghar. [1] [2] [3] [4]
An 1864 Timetable of the BB&CIR's first passenger train serviice between Grant Rd and Ahmedabad advertised in the Bombay Gazette mentions the station as 'Palghur'. A table of elevation of the stations and major bridges along the line published in the Magazine, Bombay Builder of 5 April 1867 further mentions a station named 'Palghur Station' on the line. However, one source suggests that Palghar railway station was opened in the year 1893. This might suggest that a small or temporary station must have been constructed earlier, later replaced by a proper station. The case might be similar to that of Sion Railway station, which although was a halt for the first trains of the GIP Railway when it started services from Bombay to Tannah (Thane) in 1853, it received an official station much later after 1872. [5]
The presence of the station, and due to the plague epidemic of the 1890s, caused the rich from the nearby Mahim-Kelwa village, to settle in the village, aiding in the locality's growth. A Sessional paper of 1901 stated that the double line from Virar to Palghar opened on 1 December 1897, while that from Palghar to Dahanu Rd was opened on 17 January 1898. [6]
